Back East

...after a fantastic trip to CA. We had a wonderful time: saw and did so many things, visited quite a few old friends and relatives, and made many new friends. We just can't thank all of our hosts enough for such warm, comfortable hospitality. We felt at ease and at home everywhere we went, and left--not as strangers finally returning to a place of familiarity but--as those saying goodbye to much loved homes, family, and communities. We hope some day to have the honor of welcoming all of you with similar comfort and accommodation over on the sun rise coast.
