Once again from Tacoma, Wash., WhiteyLeyrer recommends to those who are adventurous and self reliant an "escape on a freighter—no entertainment, evening gowns, or tuxes, but lots of ocean to watch." He and Marion crossed the Pacific to Tahiti, Samoa, Fiji, and New Zealand. They followed this with an extensive tour of the Emerald Isle, finishing their '93 adventures with a tour of the Copper Canyon in Northern Mexico. Wow!
And now from two "Snow Birds": BobFaegre (of hockey fame) spends winters in Sanibel, Fla., far from his home in Wayzata, Minn. He keeps in touch with his roommate Henry Macduff and sees other classmates while in Florida and back home in Minnesota. Bob Southworth writes that he and Kate enjoy the warm sunshine in Punta Gorda, Fla. (Ed White please take note) volunteering at the Environmental Center, tooling around in his small boat, and occasionally flying, Bob being a private pilot. One son is working towards his doctorate at Columbia, and the other teaches at the University of New Hampshire. His daughter, after spending six years in the Air Force, is married and living in Texas.
This will be my last column until August, but don't let that stop you from sending me a few words letting me know how your gardens are growing!
