happy may, mister. i went with bear to see the little swamp by pebble beach. it looks dead. i don't know what will become of it, will they bury it with concrete? you and i may have experienced the last days of the place that was, and i'm glad it lasted a lifetime for you. crossing spider bridge we saw someone we knew and talked about the treatment of the lake and they said progress, i guess, and i said when i hear that word i get stressed. a lot more progress is coming and i will be calling on you for strength, and i know you will be there.
