ion microprobe (serial #1 at UCLA) and we had the pleasure of visiting him, with Mom Meeker, in 1992. He also visited us in 1995 in Oak Park, and it was funny to think that Kathleen wasn't around for either visit. We had salad and fruit from their garden and a very nice magret de canard cooked over coals; Kathleen was excited to see the cheese tray come out after dinner - she is turning into a bit of a connoisseur. After dinner they drove us back into Paris where the fete de la musique was going on all night. Thousands and thousands of people wandering around the Trocadero and Eiffel Tower. There are many bandstands set up in the neighborhoods as well with people crowding the streets and dancing. In typical French style, however, the street isn't really blocked off and occasionally buses, cars, and scooters make their way through the dancing mob. Loosely organized, borderline chaos - the way the French like it!

Hi Kevin, hi Grace
It's Fri. ,June 27th and YOUSE"ALL know whats near. Oh yes, Joyce's birthday party . Les and I are playing for it. All good except tonight ,Fri, I have to move equipment for tomorrow night's party. How old is wife number two ( or is it three, Grace ? )anyway ?
The remodel moves on . Yesterday Alan the cabinet man and helper came back to install facings on refrig. and dishwasher. I sure wish I knew where things were.
Work seems to be picking up a bit . Both good and bad, that. I finally got around to reading a short story book by Edward Albee that is full of places in the southwest and Australia he's seen about a generation before all of us got to see'um .Very interesting .
Love to all Mark
