Bobby, According to a msg from Kristina Roper you did pick up posters, thank you. I am trying to sort out just when I can get down there, it needs to be relatively soon for the posters to be relevant. Still clearing backdirt (from an 8x8x6' hole) to recover burial parts (at least 6, probably 7, burials). We hope to pull back pavement Friday to allow access to the intact remains. Steve Dies is working with us this week (he is working alternate 2-week periods at Lone Pine, so we may see him again before we're through). Haven't talked to Roger again yet, but he was going to meet with a potential client this afternoon regarding another burial recovery project. Not sure how eager I am for this. Especially since I seem to be elected field director due to being most likely to be able to actually be there every day. I've rather gotten used to a very flexable schedule that doesn't require being somewhere for a specified period every day; spoiled, yes, and the reality feels pretty confining. Oh, well. I can still out screen all around me - all day, not just in spurts. Velma says I can't be an angry young man anymore, so I guess I'm graduating to grumpy old fart. The grandkids are doing fine, Velma will see them in a couple of weeks when she goes to see her allergy doc - she is now officially on stress leave for the rest of the school year, and then retired. Her health is actually, in most ways, much better than a few years ago; but things like exposure to tobacco smoke mimic heart attack symptoms, so great care has to be taken in public. She has lost ~30 lbs on weight-watchers, I have lost less on a semi- parallel course, probably about where I was the last time you saw me but I think in better shape. Velma's mom is doing variably and needing much attention, only a part of the reason for stress and early retirement; parents and administrators supplying most of the rest. I have received word from the bank that they have accepted final payment on the house. Woo, Hoo! Bed time, I have to be there or nobody works. Paul [log in to unmask]
