Oh everyone, guess where I am tonight. Well, this little sleepy town is now world news. Yup, I'm in Meridian MS. I just don't understand people like that. They are so mad at the world. This part of the worls reminds me of VT. Its got some rolling hills and friendly natives. Onward to a meeting in NewOrleans later this week. I would like to wind up in Destin for the w/e but well see.

Thanks you Jane, thats very sweet. She was a really nice lady. She always insisted I ate and she would bake for me too. Let me tell you Southerners can bake. She told me to take the figs from her tree this year and I probably will. I make a hell of a fig newton.

Roland, so sorry to hear about the recent death of your friend's gram. My condolences.

Yes, it is Goodyear. Richard, maybe the building you were in was her family's at one time? Ther were lots of those way back then. I remember her telling me about you then. Gosh, time flys. Long weekend, good n bad. My friends Gram passed away. Her husband was holding her. She actually woke up 2 or three times as she forgot to ask us some questions and made sure everyone was ok etc. Freaky. The dogs just wined a wierd bark, but she died at peace and is now in a better place. She talked to me before she passed and made peace with herself of alll the mundane matters she kept inside for years. I was happy for her but sad she kept so much in for so long. Yes, life is wierd at times Richard but I'll take all I can get and live it to the fullest capacity I am able. Hope all are well and ejnoying the heat while you can.

Roland, I haven't seen her since high school..........she must work for Goodyear............they have a company there in Vergennes. We dealt with Pratt and Whitney in the AF.....we have a lot of their engines in our A/C............I worked supervision when we had installed new ones in the E models in England. It was interesting, so say the least.

25 years ago I had a woodworking shop in the natural bristle wing of a brush company. This is getting weirder.
