Judy, I forwarded your picture to some friends here in the office. They decided that thermometer must be broken. I tried to assure them that it really gets that cold in Maine but they are skeptical.

I have made my airplane reservations for coming home! I fly into Manchester, NH, on March 6, rent a car, and drive up to my sister's house in Monmouth. Then I'll head up to Houlton for a week. I am not telling my mother of this. I plan to walk into the kitchen and calmly announce, "I was in the hemisphere and thought I'd drop in." Dad knows and was chortling to himself about it before his operation. It will be a big surprise. I only hope the class doesn't get cancelled or I will be out my money.

I will be in San Diego from February 23 to March 5 attending the class and pestering Amos and anyone else I can pester. Stand by SD, I am on my way.
