Nort Canfield reports from Miami, where he and Panchita live with their daughter and granddaughter. The book which Nort edited, Victory over Migraine, by Rodolfo Lon, is now in paperback and is in three foreign countries. He says, "Tell our classmates that we are still above ground and hope to go on a few more." He thinks the world is a bit crazy these days and thinks they are lucky to be in a good place to live with their two family members.

Paul Hartstall suffered a small shock recently and spent nine days in the hospital but is now recovering.

Bud and Isabelle Brown were driving a mule train to the Grand Canyon from their ranch when their brakes failed. They turned off the road to avoid crashing with other vehicles, expecting a major wreck in the jack pines. However, the lead mule, with an instinct for self preservation ("Something lacking in horses," Bud says.), averted disaster. Incidentally, one of his mules is called Elizabeth Taylor. What a way of life!

Thought for the month: Even though we live under the same sky, our horizons may be different.
