[Grovenet] Re: writers & writing

[Geri]

I remember very well when "The Hunted" was being
filmed out this way ...  As I sit here listening to it
rain-rain-rain outside, I'm recalling that the movie
folks had to produce extra, fake rain for a scene on
one of the big bridges in Portland ... and all of us
thought it was quite funny that they needed *more* rain!!

Tell your daughter we think she made a good
recommendation to her parents.  :)

: the  coast in 1974. She hopes to move in another year or two. Jack retires from 
: his  civilian job next year, which will also give us some freedom.
: I had to retire a few years early from my salaried job, due to some  
: disabilities from MS, and I've been busy with personal projects. The first part  of my

: advertising and public relations copywriting.
: Now I mostly write emails (smile) and sometime help out friends,  usually for 
: free...such as contributing to two books about MS.
