One of my former colleagues in tv news in Phoenix who went on to much bigger and better things in L.A. now lives in a huge house in Bend, right next to the river.

I was last there 4 years ago...it was 9K when I left in '64, it's near 100K now. Should Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400586203204886095noreply@blogger.com
