Are you still in the GV\NC area? Come on down for the barbecue
afterwards...be great to hear some stories.

I left G.V. years ago, and now live up near the Canadian border, but
my 91 year old sister still lives on Alta Hill in the house she and
her husband had built in 1936. She still drives her 4X4 to do her
shopping and drop by her Dr's. office now and then to tell him he's an
idiot and that she's not going to take that damn medicine. Speaking of
stories, did you know there's an elephant buried in a mine shaft on
Murphy hill in G.V. A circus came to town around 1928 and when the
elephant got sick and died they pushed it down the shaft. There were a
lot of interesting stories the old 'cousin-jacks' knew about the area,
but they're all gone now. Hope you have a good turn out on your clean
up day.
