Bev's personal staff gathered this afternoon for a quick meeting at the Clearwater Suites. It's all good. Mom feels as good as she has in three years, she says, and she's meeting her goals. She's got a bit of a sunburn from a pontoon outing on Lake Latoka Wednesday, but other than that she was in great spirits and ready to talk. This we did. That's her companion, Michelle, along with sons Steve and Stan. Thursday night, an assortment of folks converged in front of Mom's house using multiple forms of transportion and enjoyed 10 minutes of neighborly conversation. Betty and her husband, Perry, drove, Ken biked, his wife rode her Rascal and Don cruised in on his motorcycle. Doesn't anybody walk? Alexandria: a city of motion.
