Thanks Oso for following Sarah's wise words and posting those lecture dates.
Like many a snowbird, I can think of worse fates than being "Marooned" in Yuma in February.

We went to the El Cajon Library Presentation just a couple of weeks ago and Graham explained it was a simple old golf umbrella cover.Oso - 2-21-2009 at 08:55 AM
