| We on the Wet Coast are
not lazy, you know. We had an agenda: We were going to
get the story-telling session going, the plan to
encourage another big reunion, maybe not in Seattle just
to give others a chance, the oral history. But it was a
sunny day, the warmest of September, and lakeside
distractions and salmon barbequed on cedar planks. Our
sense of priorities told us that planning is for rainy
days, and we wanted to talk about the present, and enjoy
the food. So we did. |
Laurie and
I enjoyed having you all here on the 21st and look
forward to getting together again in the LA area. It
took a while to bring each other up to date, and we
appreciated a well timed call from Barbara who
couldn't make it down from Oakland. At least
we got to talk briefly by phone, so that makes 100%
representation from the California contingent.
Thanks again for helping
round out the dinner with some good
salads. Next time we may all get down to the beach,
and even get wet! The water temperature has dropped
below 70 as summer officially ended last weekend.
Again, thanks for coming and let's keep in
touch. Hasta la
proxima, Dwight and Laurie |
