Plus what I was doing in '79, which was toiling at a law firm that summer as a student. <br /><br />Now I'm off to read the other parts.

The idea of locking in a spot ahead of time was a new concept to me.<br /><br />There's a very dog-eared manilla envelope here marked "Maritime". It hasn't taken up much space and the stack of full Carousel's in the closet are props that help immensely. Coop a.k.a.

Peg and I lived in Orange Co. back in '84 and used Ticketron to get camping 'tickets' for Yosemite....that knocked my socks off.<br /><br />The photos bring so much of it back to me. Part 5 will actually mention some people that I've maintained contact with lo these many years.Coop a.k.a.

Can't do that now.<br /><br />Great job getting these retro posts together.

She taught me so many good things too.....Now if I'd have spent a few more hours on the "Once Kept Stay Organized" lessons I'd know where the still elusive marked up maps and my journal are.<br /><br />That trip as well as many since then have brought smiles, reflections and peaceful contentment over and over again. That sunset evening was a marvelous one; you'd have enjoyed it I'm sure!Coop a.k.a.
