Carol and Jeanne it looks like you are hooking up at the airport since you both 
are coming in at times close to each other.  Still haven't heard when Julio's coming 
in.  Jullllllioooooooo?  Looks like we're getting it worked out pretty well with the rides.  
We'll have to figure out who is where and who will need daily rides.    


>>I just made reservations for Sue and I at the Homestead Hotel, where you are
>>staying. I wonder if there are any more out there who are staying there
>>also.

Regarding the Baren summit, Mike is correct, cutting tools should fly easily 
in checked luggage.  Having flown recently, they try hard not to give us too 
much greif.  They do understand that some people are artists.  I would be 
more concerned about pigmets than sharp, again just label well.  I have an 
early flight as well United arriving at 12:32. (we always book early 
flights)  But if I have a chanch for a bump and a free flight I will take 
it.  I figured to hang out til the time stated for studio arrival.  Perhaps 
we can all meet in a place at the airport and  hang out together and figure 
out rides.?????  We met our son and other friends at the baggage carousel  
when they flew in.  Maybe we could wear a certain color or geez send out 
photos of one another or something to identify. This will be fun!!!

Thanks for your reminder about warped boards, Jan.  I tried the suggestion
about moistening the concave side of the plank, which is about 20" by 15
inches.  It did straighten out!!!!!  It is sitting weighted by a suitcase
full of handmade books.  I hope it will not bow again when it dries out.
The second one straightened out but is still warped, so I may have to clamp
it to a straight board, as suggested.  The trouble I have gone to, to get
those pieces of basswood ready for carving, is beyond belief.

It has been a thrill to successfully make a latex mold of a statue--two of
them, in fact!  What a great course and a marvelous teacher at San Francisco
City College.  We all work together and grab each other's burlap and
plaster.  You have to work fast when the plaster is setting up!  I forsee
making some casts of wood carvings.  (Now I am presumptuously using Graham's
word for woodcutting.) ("You are supposed to carve it, not hack at it!")
I wish I could go back up there and make my calendars, but it looks like I
will be stuck in the city all summer.  Also, you'll be glad to know that I
made a "B" on my math final.

Having sprained my knee, stepping on a kickball in March, it finally went up
to my left hip and caused such excruiating pain that I went to the doctor,
who prescribed Ibuprofen, water walking, ice and no more dancing, darn it.
And no more substitute teaching Physical Education.  Since I have had
scoliosis since birth, with the short leg, curved spine and all, it is just
another one in a long series of hassles on that side of my body.  Well, I'm
off to the Y.

Jean
