2 is that I was in a party ahead of him. I was fortunate when I fell into this same ravine I fell 10 feet through space but caught a sapling with one of my hands. I was dangling in mid-air like a Tarzan. Yes, God must have been with me Evelyn for I came out without nary a scratch but a stiff jolt. How is the weather down your way? Out here you can't tell. We have warm weather one day and then next day are freeze. I sleep right across a bay from Iowa City Boy, we have lots of fun together. I also met a wife of a fellow candidate who comes from Iowa City. This girl also hails from Iowa City, and she is pretty. Her maiden name was Helen Mask. What a small world. Well, I have to buckle down and study. Did I ever get to thank you for the portable checker set? If I didn't, I am doing it now. Dick
