Just got a call from Fred Kuhlman (The Ancient Mariner). He reports he's reached his brother's place in Des Moines IA today.

Left San Jose on October 4
Overnights in Winamucka NV, Rawlings WY. Spent the weekend in Denver, then overnight in Indianola NE with a cousin.

On Sunday, Fred reports he'll be leaving for Kalamazoo where his daughter lives. After a stay there, he'll be heading to NY state to see Jim Johnson & Mombo, then to MA for a visit with Bob McKeon before turning back to Kalamazoo for another stay.

Fred sends his greetings. He's without an Internet connection or he'd be with us at tonight's chat.
