On their way through to Utah, John and Mrs. Herring will be traveling
only about 30 miles north of me while headed west.

today I get to meet them for lunch

I hear you should find Mrs Herring very pleasant & gracious.

Actually both. John and Sandy are two of the most genuine people I've
met in quite a while. It was a pleasure to break bread with them. John
showed me their camper and I was impressed with the commodities and
features it had in such a small space. it has a slide out with gives
it much more spacious room then what you would think.

I told John to take 270 around St. Louis and just keep following the
signs that said "Kansas City" and that it would put them back on I-70
You don't want to go down town. *Too much bumper to bumper traffic and
sudden stops.

No fun.

Anyhow, I was most pleased to buy lunch for them.

And for that lunch, I thank you, as does my wife!

We took 270 as you suggested, and had no problem getting around St L.
We're in Sedalia now, at a little campground just south of town. We
hadn't planned on coming this far south of I-70, but the information
in tThe he "Exit Now' directory was wrong. The campground it showed at
exit 78 was actually at exit 170, or thereabouts. But, we found
another.

Took Sandy by our old house, which is still standing after all these
years. That section of town has run downhill badly, but it was fun to
go by.

Sure enjoyed meeting you Tim. Had a great time. Thanks for the prayer.
It must have helped, 'cause we're still in one piece, even with me
driving!
