It was cold in Minnesota, so we took a flight to Phoenix to see Bill's high school classmate John Elle and his wife Valerie. They havn't seen each other since June of 1977. John's hobby is still working on restoring cars and showing them in collector shows. Among his seven cars, he has a '70 "Mark Donohue" Javelin, an '80 AMX, an '80 Sprint and a '76 Hornet Sport About. John is retired after a long career with Kodak. Their home was so comfortable and the weather was perfect. Jane was very interested in finding out more about all of the Catcus plants, until one of them injured her. We were lucky to find many Catcus blooming that sometimes go many years between blooming.
