Good 47º somewhat sparse baby cloudy morning. (Huh?)
I feel badly, I left Linda Rhorbaugh off my special birthday people
yesterday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA!! Linda is friends with Jon Harting (Wilson
'64), who bought Jerry's John Deere Tractor a couple years ago. Here she is back
in Sunny So Cal on Jon's Deere (!)......
My Dad, Leslie Laney, died this date in 1991. Miss you Daddy!!! He was born
in 1901, lied about his age, and at 16 years old he enlisted in the US Navy,
sailed to France during WWI.
Mother and Daddy 1976 on their 50th anniversary.
This is an amazing picture of an amazing creature... A glass winged
butterfly....
Historically this date....

I had a call from Kristen yesterday morning. There was a pursuit in So Cal
of armed robbery suspects. I turned on my Los Angeles NBC channel and watched.
They robbed a BofA in Canyon Country, 3 of the 5 bailed in Sylmar, the other two
dashed down the 110 to South LA and drove in circles for what seemed like an
hour, periodically tossing money out the window (10 times they did this). They
were being pursued by a long line of LASD, LAPD, CHP, USC Campus Police, and
Park & Rec. EVERYONE was called out to help with the persuit and the
recovery of the cash. Finally they were stopped in a traffic jam and taken off
to jail. No injuries except for an LAPD officer had his foot run over!
So, yesterday afternoon long-time friend, Charlean (Gottesman) Allen
stopped by. She's up here visiting friends. She was a Deputy and worked Temple
Station with Jerry. She showed up with her two little pals.... little snuggly loves....
We drank wine and talked and talked. Then we took the dogs to her friend's
home in Merlin and headed back to Grants Pass. We had dinner at The
Mediterranean. She likes Greek food (and Retsina!
after living in Greece for 4 months.
Shelley was back. She and her husband have sold the restaurant and she's
working during the transition. So good to see her!!! Char and I had Moussaka.
Awesome. Loved it. Charlie heads back to Hunting Beach in a few days. Good
visit!
While we were doing dinner, my other LASD pals Jeannie & Bill Patterson
and Joe and JoAnn Kirk were whooping it up at the coast in Depoe Bay at the Sea
Hag Restaurant (a favorite of mine!)
(Thanks for sending the picture guys!)
All I know. Happy Thursday. JCRW luncheon today. Best get to gettin'.
Ciao.
