Well Bernie!
Talk about us who do not know when to retire. . . you following a famous
battle, Walt setting new Georgia zoogeographical records every year and me=
now learning a new computer language while making photo illustrations for
software on grass and sedge identification! ;^)
I would like to thank you for all your recent good spirited and informative=
posts and hope you do have great luck in your trip. Chief Joseph is a hero=
of mine, so I will think of you and your mission, and can hardly await
hearing any details you can spare, sounds or stories in due time.
RE email - I am fairly sure that you need to go into your own "Yahoo
profile" and set your mail delivery options yourself, but perhaps Doug can=
do it.
