A reply to Harriet from Claudine

Hi Harriet:

Enjoyed very much reading your summary of your summer, travels and accompanying events. Sorry about the death of one of your canine best buddies.

Rodney and I had two Golden Retrievers (one at at time) each of whom lived 13 years. They had a devoted owner, walker, and care giver--(that would be Rodney) and I heard him on the phone shortly after the first Golden's death--Gus-- "But Mom, you do not understand, I have lost my best friend."" Guess that about says it all. Bert, the second then broke his heart by going to dog heaven at age 13 and no more pets. It is too hard to lose them.

Loved reading of your travel adventures. I believe you keep moving or you sit down and there you stay.

Sorry about your knee. It it the age group. Most everyoneof our age has had on or both fixed or replaced, or is putting it off (me).

We had an ex Stanford basketball player on the rafting trip. A gentle and graceful giant who could play one heck of a hand of hearts. She beat everyone.

As for 1959, it probably was indeed a watershed never mind as Bob pointed out the author missed a lot of what made the year.

Please stay in touch and let us hear of your further travels.

Good healing

Claudine
