Yes, you do meet the nicest people on the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Trail! The trail runs for miles along the Willamette River and connects Eugene and Springfield. The 12 mile Eugene section passes through several parks, including Delta Ponds. It was here that I met this nice quartet of ladies. Their interesting shirts caught my eye. They explained that the words were the motto of a doctor they all had in common who died suddenly just recently. He must have been a good doctor and kind man for them to have such pleasant memories of him. It was great to meet them on the trail.
