I emailed your husband. His work is just wonderful. I might stop by when I'm on LInden.<br /><br />Char,<br />I knew you would!<br /><br />Babzy,<br />I'm on my way over to visit and see your chair. You know I photographed a dozen in Paris!<br /><br />Halcion,<br />I know Jackson's hot as a firecracker too. Did you see Bill Dixon's shot of Robert Trent while I was gone? I hope so. Did you play that course while you were here?<br /><br />Therese,<br />At least yours is less humid with the high heat. <br /><br />FIrelight,<br />We will get together with Carol in Auburn when I return from France.

I used a funeral home fan just last Sunday at church, with the air conditioner AND ceiling fans running wide open! Except I think it was a political ad and not a funeral home.

It's one of those cardboard fans on a wooden stick. Long ago, they were an advertisement for funeral homes etc. They often used them in churches to help the folks cool off since there was no AC at that time. I'm adding a "hip" version I purchased last fall at Art Walk! <br />VVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-78153627417914023572009-06-26T10:46:17.823-05:002009-06-26T10:46:17.823-05:00Hi Virginia, I have been enjoying checking in on y...Hi Virginia, I have been enjoying checking in on your blog for some time now.

As far as I understood his friends have some hope he can join them next week. Maybe, just maybe the authorities have not yet connected him with his blog or LIFE magazine.
