Kind of gross that "gentlemen" were expected to have preserved animals and insects as part of their upper class collections.Author Amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636391982938592789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-16989934710881402072013-01-07T16:25:55.897-05:002013-01-07T16:25:55.897-05:00anyone want to come over and see my Moths of Great...anyone want to come over and see my Moths of Great Britain (4 volumes) or A Natural History of British Butterflies- both by Rev Morris- (i collect books)please contact dave eberhardt- while u r here we can also look at the 8 vol.

I hope you will post more poems and postcards. I look forward to following your progress.Margaret Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04434866104385187658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-38728128212337844402012-12-28T20:43:55.074-05:002012-12-28T20:43:55.074-05:00Well, of course I'd like a postcard, but I alr...Well, of course I'd like a postcard, but I already have one, as you know. So if you have all 44 taken, I understand. This is a marvelous project and to celebrate your birthday too, Laura. I hope you'll allow me to share what you sent me sometime. I will need to wait until I get a new printer/scanner, but would love to share the poem & the postcard. It's so exciting that you're receiving cards from different places. My memory of the Indie 500 is that a former student's father took him every year (from Denver!). It was a special, special relationship.

I was thinking about how far 500 miles could take you and how, as a new driver, I never actually ventured all that far from home.<br /><br />Carol, I appreciate the comment.

Every time I hear about a car race, or come across one on television, I wonder how anyone could sit and watch people go around and around and around.

I feel the same way -- strange to imagine them there and yet it is part of the mythology of our family.Author Amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636391982938592789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-5430227859676822612012-12-28T09:01:43.045-05:002012-12-28T09:01:43.045-05:00My mom tells me my parents went to the Indy 500 be...My mom tells me my parents went to the Indy 500 before I was born.
