Mormons got to Salt Lake Valley by July 24, 1847. Donners arrived Salt Lake Valley, August 25, 1846, which gives an idea how late Donners were in their quest to avoid Sierra snows.

Addendum:

Talking of age, last night I watched a performance by 2 70 year olds. While they showed their age somewhat the concert was great.

The lead singer is 73 - Roger Daltrey and the lead guitarist is 72 - Pete Townshend. We saw The Who.

So who says age matters.

The POPE

What a coincidence that we went to a Mary Wilson concert the same evening!


Hi Steve,

Who is Magnolia in Miami? May be a neighbor.

Liked your photo of Cuba. We were there a year earlier.

Just back from Oregon. If anyone needs notes, let me know.

Best,

Dean, Miami, FL

Hint: She and her husband own an island in the Keys. You know them.
