I could use some good luck... Are you snow bound? Our son, in St. Louis, reports 18 inches of snow. I suppose you have the same. The old Mississippi will have more water when the thaws come. I hope the wintertime is congenial to your creative work...I am determined to continue, in spite of disinterest. Elizabeth & I enjoy the pleasant climate here. We visit art galleries & museums, glimpse the Pacific; we have our car now. Art exhibits are distinguished & stimulating. I look forward to easel painting soon. I am gradually improving. All best, Jack...to you & Gladys...those double 7's in '77 should bring us luck...abrazos Paul Eliz will be giving a poetry reading at Diego Univ. soon.
