To find a group <br />in Eugene was exciting. We joined Oakleigh Meadow having every <br />intention of buying a unit and living in the community. We want to <br />live in a multi-generational community where we know our <br />neighbors, enjoy shared activities and are entertained by the antics of <br />the children nearby. <br />We were especially pleased with the location of Oakleigh <br />Meadow. We currently live across the river from Oakleigh Lane. We <br />know the value of the river front trail and want to continue to live <br />along the river. <br />Our lives have taken a different path and Oakleigh Meadow is no <br />longer an option for us. Though we won't be living there, we strongly <br />believe that the Oakleigh Meadow project will be a great asset to the <br />neighborhood. <br />With best wishes for Oakleigh Meadow <br />Jim O'Connor and Pen Sand <br />1240 <br />
