Hi All, just to let you know that in just 12 hours time I will be on the runway at Manchester International Airport on my way to sunny (hopeful) California. I have quite a schedule to keep whilst away, flitting from place to place and always ensuring that everyone is satisfied, I guess most of you can guess that having two sons aged 14 and 15 that they will be looking for high adventure. I will be staying in Anaheim at the Ramada Disneyland, 1331 East Katella Avenue for the first four nights then on to San Diego to the Handlery, 950 Hotel Circle North should Gail Dutton's brother (can't find his name) care to look us up as he lives in south L.A.. After visiting Las Vegas, Death Valley, and Bass Lake, Yosemite I am off to Monterey to stay at the Quality Inn Resort, 1058 Munras Avenue from 29th July - 2nd Aug, where I am going to meet up with John Dutton of Sacramento who is camping at Monterey for 'Scottish Weekend'. Wow, I definately get to meet a long lost cousin!!! Boy, am I looking forward to that!!! Is there any other Duttons out there that can also make the meet? On to Sacramento and then rounding off at San Francisco to meet up with an old Scouting friend who once trod the boards of the Manchester Palace Theatre with me (in front of a 2,000 audience) way back in the early 70's and we hadn't met up with each other since 1974. I called him last week and we had a real good chat and can't wait to get together again. Well, I'm not going to unsubscribe as I don't want to miss a single thing that happens while I'm away. Regards to you all, I hope that those who asked for the IGI file got it, if you didn't, you'll have to wait until I get back. I have got the latest photo's but haven't got time to get them scanned before I go, John will see them in Monterey though. See you all in three weeks. God Bless Colin
