Hey, Amy! Glad you're enjoying my book. I also loved seeing the photo of the massacre site. SPD

congrats on getting married.

The Millard family agreed this was the best Independence Day in a long time. For Max, the sentiment had to do with the fact that the fireworks display had been the center of attention as one load took a left turn and the rocket's red glare was misdirected to the Mayor's platform with the bombs bursting in error.

That's about when I'll have time to get around to writing about! We're on the same schedule! I need to update my site. Yesterday I got to meet my new editor at the Times-News and tour the office for the first time. I've been a correspondent there for five years and I'd never been in! It was fun. Meanwhile, making plans to attend the Oregon-California Trails Assoc. convention in Nampa, Idaho early August. I'll be helping lead a bus tour of the Goodale Trail. Very excited! The OCTA people are great, and they're doing important preservation work along all our trails. Thanks for popping in! Hi to all.

Hey, young lady... sorry I haven't grabbed the time to research your p.o.i. yet (people of interest). It seems like I just keep falling behind on things at work, church and at home! I haven't forgotten and I'll try to get something going... at least before I retire. Let see, 52- I have to work 'til I'm 65 or maybe 68........ fd
