Thanks Haold. real glad to hear you are ok. Talked to Ina in Memphis
earlier, and they were having thunder, and lieghten going on and she didn't
talk long, but they were ok. She stays with Risa quiet a bit, but now Steve
is retired, and she will be home more. She plans on going to our meeting in
Calico the 29th. Wish you could come, but that's a long way to travel. Take
care June
