IDAHO WRITERS LEAGUE

I attended the IWL conference the end of Sept held in Coeur D' Arlene. I was won a third place award for the short humor catagory. Writing continues to be major hobby. Not interested in selling anything but enjoy trading my work for the product of other's hobbies. I maintain a "Labor of Love Museum."

TANDEM RALLY

We participated in the Santana Cycle tandem rally held in the Napa Sonoma wine county. We bought our new Santana tandem in 1984 and are still active riders. After the rally we toured the Redwood Park areas on the way to the Evergreen Tandem Club rally in the Washinton State wine country. We do not have the strength, stamina or courage to keep up with ant of this new generation of riders but we enjoy the social part of the gatherings. We are impressed with today's rider taking the sport to the next level.

NORTH END REUNION

The high light of 2010 travels was are trip to Canada to attend the all class reunion of St. Johns Teck. St Johns was the only high school in the place I grew up "North End" (North of Winnipeg). The event was a four day convention celebrating the history of "North End". In 1985 we got a lot of attention by ridning into town on our loaded tandem. Flying in from around the world was our encore.

NORWAY

Our travel 2010 included a trip on Hurtigruten ferry ship from Bergen to the top of the world including a bus excursion to Russia.

MONTH IN FRANCE

This year's travel included a month in France. We started in Paris with a visit to Versielle and the Pompeno Center. The rest of the time was in La Londe overlooking the Sea. Harvey played petanque with the retired French while Anita planed the regular tours of the local wineries

HOLY LAND

April we tourned the Holy Land. We felt safer in Isreal than most big cities. Our tour included 4 National Parks. The Land is much more functional and peaceful than our expectations. We met Arabs who are Isreali citizens and most want to live in peace.

THE PERFECT RELIGION

March 7, 2010 an abreviated version of my play, "THE PERFECT RELIGION" was read as part of the Gardenia Center Service. The lead role was read by Sue Fiskin. Sue is a talented lady and was worthy of her standing ovation. There has been so much positive feed back that I am inspired to produce my play "HELL FROZE OVER". Although deeling with a simular subject, this play has more of a plot and is designed to be staged, not read. I am looking for 5 people in their 20s interested in acting the roles. (2 male and 3 females). My plan is a show at the Gardenia center and one at the little theater of the Panida. The cost of production would come from a grant from PINE PRODUCTIONS and money from ticket sales to charity (Gardenia Center Programs) Anyone interested in donating their time and efforts to the cause should make contact.
