Another New Horizons Reunion

Our first appointment today was with Dr. Canales, DDS, and his staff. Time for our annual cleaning and exams. It was after 11:00 when we were finished with that.

Bob and Judy will be leaving tomorrow, so tonight we gathered at the Republic of the Rio Grande for a send-off dinner. A good time and great food was had by all. We were regaled with tales of grizzlies pairing up in mating season in Alaska and getting to touch a mother whale and calf and other such adventures.

Jerry told us something about his experience working with the Red Cross to help flood victims in Austin. The flooding was around Onion Creek. That made us sit up and take notice: Onion Creek runs through McKinney Falls State Park, where we stayed just a few weeks ago. Jerry says it was closed by the flooding.

After an early dinner, we rushed to go to Joe Saltel's C-1 dance at Tropic Star. We were nearly late, but just in time to be the twelfth couple, so we had three squares of fun. Hal and Dorothy Case were there, but somehow we didn't dance with them. We did dance with Joe and Carol White and several couples we had seen at the Paris weekend.
