Oh, palo, I wrote a wonderful reply but it went into the ether...I'm sorry somebody wasn't nice to you, but hubby and I would make sure you and Bill enjoyed yourselves...

LOL Judy you are the sweetest
it had a happy ending tho
Gene (who was from Brooklyn)
met a lovely Missouri farm girl in St Louis
they've been married ever since
come to think of it she's a spitfire too, how do they grow them that way there
I went back to NYC and met Bill (who had just arrived in the city for the first time)
I have enchanted memories of swimmin' in sweet lazy Ozark lakes from that time
altho the skeeters were intense when we camped at night
also the nights were hotter than in Adirondack mountains
but there is a sweetness to your countryside I never found anywhere else
Love, Palo
