Sounds like a good excuse for a gathering. I'm not working and would
enjoy the company again.
I wonder if anyone is close to getting all 30 boxes, maybe Wanda and
Pete, or Bluebird and Music Woman?
In these days of cut backs and loss of state sponsered services its
nice to see some time being spent to help educate us on the forests
and provide a healthy hobby.
