Hi Folks,:
So many friends sent Christ
mas cards and I’ll never get them
aii answered. We sure mists every
one up in the snow banks.
It’s been real warm latfiy. We
have had several rains—unusual
for the desert—«o we are wait
in* and hope it will be in bloom
before we loave. Every place
you look it is green.
We will really miss the citrus
fruit when we go back up. Large,
juicy thick skinned naval oranges
are $4 for a large grain sack full,
Texas pink grapefruit at 4c a 3b.,
and white grapefruit $1.50 per
grain sack.
We spend a lot of time hunting
rocks—rose quart*, crystal, and
so forth— really getting to be
hill climbers on these dry desert
bills. Also investigating o 1 d
mines, meeting new friends arid
so on.
The post office looks like an
old pogie home when pension and
Social Security checks come in.
Seems as if pensioners are about
all who can afford to be desert
rats or rock hounds.
Sure do miss the news from
home. Will be glad to he- back
among friends the last of May.
This is a “Hi” to everyone.
As ever,
Two Desert Eats,
BILL AND
VERNA CLEXIiENEN
(The Clendenens are from An
chor Point, Hurry- back,—Ed.)
Taint So!
The rumor that George Deni
son, Sokfotna area Civil Defense
director, has been mauled by a
mountain lion is absolutely fake,
he reported Thursday evening.
Denison was called by Emmett
Karsten who inquired as to ti*p§
ws'l ' :■ -j-T,„v - '.;s 3K®fi4S|jj ' maA
near; h? EAsai that Desesea bad
. i .
sad that his right arm had been
chewed mi.
The truth «? the matter is,
Denison said, that his only najory
at the present time is a painful
index finger on his right hand,
which he smashed while unload
ing wood from a pickup truck.
