Gladstone
- Gladstone is a city in Clackamas County, Oregon, located just south of Portland at the confluence of the Clackamas and Willamette rivers.
- I spent the first thirteen years of my childhood growing up in Gladstone. It was here, around age 9, that I discovered my passion for computer programming by hand-writing a FOCAL program on lined notebook paper. See Gladstone Childhood, FOCAL on Lined Paper, and the Early Career Arc.
