Sure enough—we do have memories in common. I, too, miss Clark and the 
wild rides on the back of his bike. We lived pretty close in 60's. When 
you're in the Austin area, would love to visit. In the meantime, I'm 
still looking for the good horse home and shutting down my life as I 
have known it to start anew. Maybe your farmhand will consider. Thanks 
for a good "visit",mm
