The La Honda Faire was good fun, and nowwe look forward to a wonderful visit with my mother who will be here soon.
We are also looking forward to July when we are planning to join Al Hinkle and his daughter, Dawn, in Lowell, MA for the annual Jack Kerouac Festival. Randy and I have never been to this event but my brother, John and my mother, Carolyn, have been there before.
As this is the 50th anniversary of the publication of Jack’s groundbreaking book, “On The Road” we decided it is time that we go to see Jack’s home town and participate in the celebration. Our good friend, Stephen Edington will be doing an interview with Al Hinkle, (“Ed Dunkle”in “On The Road”) and has asked me to join in with some stories. Should be lots of fun.

In September is the 40th annual “Summer of Love” celebration in San Francisco. Please visit Summer of Love and for a blast from the past, visit the 30th anniversary website: SummerofLove.org
And who knows what other “happenings” are going on. If you hear of anything, please let us know.
