This coming Wed. we're driving up to San Francisco. Forgot to tell you the other News: we turned in the Chrysler wagon on a Chrysler 4-door which is 3 yrs. younger and has air-conditioning & other comfortable features. While in S.F. (about 5 days) Don will be going to AA meetings there in the evenings while I attend the Antiquarian Book Fair held by all my book dealer buddies. The rest of the time we'll spend sight-seeing and eating. It will be a nice vacation for both of us.
The College Curriculum sounds good for Sept. You sure got a timely "scoop" on Sept. 2nd (my birthday) with that Israeli program! But what have you got against poor old Ben Franklin? He's one of my heroes — because he was a printer, not because of the ladies. But you must admit, he wasn't a hypocrite about his sex-life. I always liked it that he advised young men to go for older women, especially for the reason that the old dames are so grateful (Also grateful that he didn't say "old bags")
Love from all
Virgine
