Don Kahle
Jefferson Journal ContributorDon Kahle is a Friday columnist for The Register-Guard as well as a contributor to the Jefferson Journal. He's lived in Eugene now long enough that people have stopped asking him when he's going to leave. For ten years he published the Comic News and is now executive director for the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects and the owner of a small advertising agency called !AH !HA Design. He's a failed introvert and the father of two, as far as he knows. He’s a dog person.
Don resembles the Queen of England in three ways. Corgis are his favorite pets. He honestly can’t believe his good fortune, getting away with as much as he does each and every day. And he’s not uncomfortable referring to himself in the third person.
