[Mishmash] Amarillo

[Richard Barth]

Sounds like you plan to cover a bit of territory, Fred. Hope the 
weather holds up for you and that you have a pleasant trip and a 
Merry Christmas, as well as
a healthy and happy new year.

My own holidays are not going to be so jolly this year.  I lost my 
wife very early this morning. Cerebral hemorrhage. After 46 years of marriage.

73,

Dick
