From Fenton:I am stuck in LA so I won’t to attend tonight. I sure would love to be there. Have a beautiful weekend everybody!

As for the moon landing, Eric Maisonpierre and I were in Yosemite. Scratching our heads because there were dozens of motorhomes in the Valley in those days. And we were self righteously appalled because most of them had their awnings out and were watching their TVs at 3:00 pm in the afternoon. With El Capitan and Yosemite Falls above them. Half Dome and Glacier Point down the Valley. We headed up to Tuolumne Meadows and its relatively less crowded areas. It was only when I went to drop garbage in the bear proof containers that I read the headlines on a newspaper. Man had landed on the moon! I wished I’d known, I’d have joined the TV watchers too. A couple weeks later we headed back East to Woodstock. And then back to Darien until 2003, when I came to California to continue my exploartion of Yosemite and the wider Sierra Nevada. Was back in Connecticut for a couple years during the pandemic but returned again to Los Angeles in 2021.
