It was a fantastic event for those fortunate enough to be tthere. As David said, Kudos to Claire, Janie and the silent supports suchas Mike B.
Wanted to mention for those who received the small blue box, or just a clear plastic holder, with the coins of 1966 that theHalf Dollar coin is 80% silver. The Half Dollar was the last coin to contain any silver.
My wife and I planon departing Wendesday morning to start our return trip to California. Hopefully by the time we get there, late Saturday evening, Mr. Larry F. will have finally settled into his new abode and I can see him. First I have to check if my VISA to visit South of San Fransisco is still valid.
By the way Larry, did I ever mention to you how to beat the Bridge tolls in the bay area. For example, whenever I, and friends, head toward San Jose we take Hwy 101 South to San Rafael and cross the Richmond-San Rafael bridge (No toll EAST bound). And continue South on I-580. Then when returning weDrive North on I-280 to San Francisco and take 19th Street to the Golden Gate Bridge (No toll North bound). Then take Hwy 101 North. The bridges around the San Fransisco Bay charge the toll in only ONE direction. The biggest problem with using the"Toll Avoidance" route is the return trip through the West Side of San Fransisco; all city streets. Highways end, or start, at the limits to San Fransisco. So Larry, if you ever want to see the Redwoods, or visit Wineries, just take the reverse route, North thru San Fransisco across the Golden Gate and return across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. Granted it might take you twenty minutes more per round trip, but it saves you about $20.00.
