Sounds like all are doing OK through these times. Hopefully we are beginning to see the end. With less industry and autos polluting our air the Earth may have a little time to cleanse and give us a picture of what it used to be. Noted this big orb coming over the mountains behind Boise the other day. Stay Safe

I don’t post here often but today’s Email caught my attention. Hope all had Happy Birthdays in these interesting times and that all are able to avoid this virus. Idaho, as usual, was slow to react. The ‘It won’t happen here” mentally is strong. But, it did happen and our Governor was not strong enough to take action. Leaving it up to local entities for the actions. A week later he did take action after a noticeable increase of infections. Now we are on stay at home restriction for the entire state. All my family are OK at this writing. My sister, Nina (Class of 61) and I almost got stranded in Ammon, Jordan when Israel closed it’s borders. Luckily we were able to fly home a few days later. Most of our trip to Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Palestine were behind us. Only thing we missed was Jerusalem. Happy to be home!
