Jamo, me lad,

Sorry about missed connections. We dug up three sets of old friends located all up and down the coast plus drove the Big Sur road TWICE. Met with Jim Weathersford and Jerry Goddard. GREAT guys! Went to House of Cobras, took a ride in an SPF w/ one of Dean Woodward's "Stage 4" 418 cu. in. strokers in it---Jay-susss! Spent a couple of hours at McCluskey's (whew..the number of ORIGINAL aluminum cobras there was staggering!), Ron Shaver's (another "whew"!), RB Himself's (where I got a three-day engineering and driving tutorial) the Peterson Museum, etc. etc. Never got in contact with the Monterey Butler owner, saw the Aquarium (too many $ to get in and then too many Jellyfish!), etc. etc. including the San Diego Zoo and staying the Del! As soon as I get the myriad pictures back, I'll post a few.

Great time, great state!

I'll catch up to you in Fresno next time.
