Jann, thank you for reminding me where I first met Ellery and Tony, 
is was in the San Francisco House! I drove up there almost weekly for 
meetings of various kinds. One night I was so exhausted from long 
days of teaching and driving to the S.F. House so often, I nearly 
drove off Highway 280! (I also almost fell asleep reading a book to 
my 5th graders--not cool!)

I remember when Ellery and Tony came to Kemper, but I have no idea 
what year that was.
