It looks from the photographs that they might be vetting a new member, which could be Altoon Sultan.]]> This was a picnic on the lawn of the Murphy Farm House. This was and is an old Farmhouse owned by Vassar College and broken up into apartments for faculty. The picnic was attended by some people who lived in the Farmhouse and faculty who lived elsewhere (like me). I don't remember who put the party together or who invited me. See two previous entries.]]> The actual date for this excursion isn't known at this to time. The date for the roll of film was summer 1983.

So we all went to this really good pizza restaurant a number of times until they closed. It is now a real estate office.]]> I was shopping at Adams, which I do at least three days a week, and took this photograph of Ralph and two people who work there. Ralph is retired. So is not in the store regularly at this point.]]> Gret and Levi have had a winter solstice party every year for the last 25 years. I don't remember what year we started coming to the party. It might be on this site, and if not, should be and hopefully will be. Catherine (Murphy) and I have usually met up with Tom Nozkowski and Joyce Robins at their house and followed them to Gret and Levi's. Even though it is not that far from their own house, it is hard to find. Tom and Joyce were going to the party early because Cas (Nozkowski), Hannah (Boz), and Rocket (Nozkowski) were going as well, and they had to leave early because Rocket's bedtime was 7:00PM. So we went by ourselves and got pretty close before we were lost. We drove around in the dark, up and down hills. We called Tom, and he was helpful until he wasn't. We were in front of someone's house when I turned around and saw another car. Assuming that these people could be looking for Gret and Levi's place, I drove up behind the car, got out of ours, and walked up to the car window. Mark Epstein was in the driver's seat. He said he could lead us to the party and did get us closer. We wound up on a hill to the side of a house that was not Gret and Levi's. As Mark and Arlene (and others) drove away, a large dog ran out of the house, followed by a large man. The man was quite helpful and told us exactly how to get where we were going. Mark was waiting for us a bit down the road. See the previous four entries and the following entry.,.]]>
