Linda Wright, widow of Bill, generously accepted your secretary's regrets for the goof, spotted by George Stoddard, in her name and address in a recent "Roar." Her address is Mary's River Ranch, Deeth, Nev. 89823. She welcomes any of us when in that area.

The latter's enjoyment caused him to give it to the Kendal library, where he assists. There it is in constant circulation - need there be a higher recommendation?
