Hi Everyone,

Our Rotary group, nine strong, will be leaving San Francisco Sunday morning at 1:30 AM and arriving at San Pedro Sula, via San Salvador, at about 10:00 AM. Our return flight on Thursday next will arrive in San Francisco at about midnight. A group of Rotarians will meet us to ferry us home.

In San Pedro Sula, we will be staying at the La Cordillera Hotel for four nights; tele 504-556-6116.

I'm really looking forward to the trip. It looks like my life long ability to sleep in airplanes is going to come in handy.

My trip to Colorado was uneventful but worthwhile. It was nice meeting Leigh's wife, Margie Crandell, again and being a small part of the funeral ceremony. After Leigh's three kids each made a tearful statement, I loosened the crowd up, about eighty people, with some remembrances of times we shared as teenagers. I got several sustained laughs from the group in the process. At least they didn't cry. I flew out of Oakland on a six o'clock flight that had me in a rental car about 11:00 PM. I drove for an hour and crashed in a Best Western in Castle Rock. I woke up at my usual 5:30, showered, had a great hotel breakfast that came with the room, and drove to Canon City, arriving a couple of hours early for the funeral. After the funeral I drove back to Denver and caught a 6:00 o'clock non-stop flight back to Oakland arriving before the sun went down. Needless to say, I didn't wake up at 5:30 Wednesday morning.

The new Ford truck runs like a new truck. I'm pleased. I will get the camper mounted on September 3 making me almost ready for my Winchester Bay crabbing adventure beginning 9/14.
