Dana Plautz BA ’82, a member of the college’s Board of Alumni and co-founder of MrsP.com, discusses her popular web site in this Oregonian profile.
Plautz and her partner Clay Graham designed MrsP.com, a unique storytelling site for children, to celebrate reading and books. Plautz and Graham, both former Hollywood executives, collaborated with actress Kathy Kinney, the eponymous storyteller.
