In high school you are mortified to let people know that something was wrong with you. I was deaf all though high school but only my very best friends knew that I could not hear. I received a lot of: "God, are you stuck up. I saw you at ____ and you never even spoke to me." If that's the worse thing that happen guess I made it all right. Now some of those things are funny but not when you are a teen. -Betty Hiser Gulley '49er - south/government Richland - weather cooled off but is creeping back up to the high 80s. ******************************************************* ******************************************************* >>From: Mike Brady ('61) Re: Costco Cherries FYI...

I went from Seattle to Weyburn, Sask., Canada, then down into Minnesota and back to Seattle in 2001. A three week trip. The only rule for us boys was if you need to use the bathroom while we were traveling, sit down. Wal*Mart is good. The truck stop in Fargo, ND was okay except for the refrigerated trucks. Depending on the size of your motor home, some parks will be a challenge. Highway one (1) north of San Francisco, Cades Cove in the Smokey National Park, cutting across 395 to 5 through Yosemite and many national back roads, particularly with bridges could cause you some problems. In other words, you might want to study a trip before making that left turn on Lick Skillet Road in middle Kentucky. KOA Kampgrounds, and I've stayed in many in a tent or Kabin (bring a queen sheet), are okay. They are becoming more expensive, as is everything, depending on where you are. For example, out in the middle of AZ, ND, western OK, etc. they are reasonably inexpensive… and quite a bit more expensive near Plymouth Rock, Mass. Nevertheless, they are becoming more abundant, accommodate motor homes very nicely at near tent site prices, are generally safe, have hook-ups, showers, swimming pools, little stores and I have always met very nice folks staying in one. One item about motor homes: last week while in the Smokey Mountains NP in eastern TN, campsite B117, or whatever it was, trying to put together this smore, some guy over in B112, or whatever it was, has his motor home generator running for about an hour, totally messing with my late evening listening of squirrel and chipmunk frolicking... and bird songs. Very rude. Which brings up another point; taking a gun in your motor home into Canada. You might want to check into that before doing so. Enjoy... and FUN is the only requirement!! http://www.koakampgrounds.com/ In southern Ohio, in a dry county, on Brush Creek, seven miles from the Ohio River, visiting an old friend where cell phones don't work, sleeping next to a Blue Tick Hound, headed for a KOA tent site in Middleboro, MA (Plymouth Rock), -Rick Maddy ('67) ******************************************************* ******************************************************* >>From: Tami Lyons Zirians ('76) To: Roy Ballard ('63) Re: Halibut recipes... I just saw a wonderful recipe for Halibut on the food network's "Boy Meets Grill"... (One of Bobby Flay's cooking shows... my favorite) He was cooking the halibut wrapped in banana leaves on the grill... Here's the link... Yucatan Marinated Halibut Grilled in Banana Leaves with Orange-Pineapple Relish And while we are on the subject of fish... does anybody have a sure- fire suggestion for preventing salmon from sticking the grill while it's cooking... ? -Tami Lyons Zirians ('76) ******************************************************* ******************************************************* That's it for today.
