I do remember the french fries made by Jimmy Melnick I believe in the wok with a lot of oil. I just helped my mom clear out my grandmother's house. Found the old broken wooden spoon that Teddy made with a female figure for the handle. Too bad it was broken. Babi (grandmother)was one of the "straight" people to visit SR and I think she really liked it...now she's in a nursing home and barely wakes up to say hello. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FROM Nina...................Sep 17, 1998, 18:13 (EST) Hello SR No,Irene isn't playing at the Celebration.

Incredible what bullshit Jimmy is still able to spout! Love it. My garden actually did quite well considering that on April 14, when I returned froma trip to Italy and NY there was nothing there but an overgrown fairly steep hillside. A Korican built redwood retaining wall and many loads of purchased earth later, we are still eating 5 varieties of tomatoes, swiss chard, had lettuce, ONE green pepper, the occasional strawberry and many green peas. Not too bad for the first attempt on this property. Love the web site and will plug in more often now that I have connected. Teddy send more info on the contest as I am hot to win some homegrown! Love to all -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter ...................Oct 27, 1998, 16:43 (EST) How about some input on seriuos questions such as: Are cobwebs on/on the eaves and other places where there are corners etc. beneficial?Harmful? Why? Is there an "organic" way to get rid of blackberries? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- jim...................Oct 27, 1998, 18:32 (EST) eat them ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teddy...................Oct 28, 1998, 00:24 (EST) Cobwebs are what the Native Indians called dream catchers. They channel good vibes to the person sleeping nearby. ( I made that up ). Goats would probably do in a blackberry bush. Teddy...................Oct 29, 1998, 00:49 (EST) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- stan ...................Nov 3, 1998, 03:06 (EST) If anybody's out there wish me luck - tomorrow's election day and I might be an important person.

I thought I had a chance but wound up with 20%. I had a formidable opponent, but people obviously aren't ready for green politics try again another time - maybe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter ...................Nov 24, 1998, 14:24 (EST) I dont recognize the house depicted in the "suburbs" section of the Pictorial History as being the cute little cottage in the woods that I built with its, pole roof joists and Plastic cover that could be folded back in summer sothat one could and did sleep under the stars in the summer without having to leave one's bed. Perhaps someone remodeled the house I built after I left and maybe this is the horrible result. Maybe this is Larry's house seen from the path by the water ditch, but I dont remember the path to it in this manner. Jimmy if lyou have a laptop or if you get Larry to a computer maybe he will recognize it. I have a picture or two of the house I built and will look for it to see if it bears any resemblance to what you have. I may send it to you, Teddy, and have you post it. Definitely a Happy Thanksgiving to All. I have a LOT to be thankful for and I am. ----------------------------------------------------- Peter ...................Nov 25, 1998, 17:05 (EST) NOT EVERYTHING THAT HAS CEDAR BARK ON IT WAS BUILT BY ME. ----------------------------------------------------- Nina...................Dec 4, 1998, 15:23 (EST) Hello SR friends, Today is the opening of Barbara Weinstein's exhibit.

But it's a pipe dream. Got a new picture on page 3 of the pictoral history. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM jim...................Jan 25, 1999, 12:05 (EST) mary gunter, her ex played the sax at the claim...did she leave an address ? we had a great little community in portland, she was with peter clough at the time....had one of the first community gardens in portland. we all lived on the same block and i believe there was only one or two houses with straight invisible folks, with fences...the rest of us used the inside as a playground for the kids...and a sunny garden...we did wood runs....that was a while ago, 1973...boy, were we young. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM Teddy...................Jan 25, 1999, 23:50 (EST) I remember the sax. I played it a few times standing on the bridge behind the old kitchen (where we used to park "the beast"). I remember one time I was really playing with abandon and suddenly I felt like I was being watched by "bigfoot". Weird. Anyway, I found an address for Mary and put it on the SECRET GARDEN page (for privacy). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM Peter...................Jan 26, 1999, 18:29 (EST) The mention of Mary Gunther and her former husband (name escapes) brought to mind a great story. They were visiting in the early days of SR and Larry and I took him along to a meeting of the Rotary club in Grant's Pass. We had accepted an invitation to talk there after there had been some trouble between Dep. Sherrif Metcalf and some Takilma Hippies. We took gunther along because he was teaching sociology or some such at Reed College and looked respectable (no long hair etc.). We thought he would give us some credibility. At any rate we get to the Motel where the meeting was to be held and are up on a raised platform to eat lunmch. After lunch they all get up an pledge allegiance to the flag. Here the three of us are facing these Grants Pass Rotarians in their suits and ties and thoulgh we are standing we do not have our hands over our hearts and are conspicuosly silent. Of course the first angry question to us is: why did you not pledge allegiance? Gunther gives a very political reason related to Vietnam etc., Larry gives avery Hippie dropped out answer ( as I remember it). I tell the following story:"When I was twelve years old and before I came to this country after having survived the horrors of WWII I had to appear before a United States Immigration official who had me swear allegiance to the United States. I did that then, and was and am proud of it. I am also a man of my word and do not think I constantlly have to repeat my allegiance. I did it once and, since I am an honorable man,that should be enough!" It totally deflated them and we went on to a much more friendly and reasonable question and answer session. Mary Gunther became very much involved in the Native American movement in later years. Have no idea where she is or why and how her name has come up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM Peter...................Feb 9, 1999, 15:17 (EST) forgot to put in the name. Pic has Miriam in it, not too clear, but interesting historically speaking. Also have great photo of Leah & Nina cavorting naked with paint brushes and paint, but will not send for posting without their permission.Let me know -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM Nina...................Feb 13, 1999, 22:46 (EST) Baby sitting Miriam and Dwayne's kids and their computer is fast! I have the map of SR which Stan did. It's big and on old paper, would be expensive to photocopy at Kinkos and I don't think it would scan too well. I'm going to look into scan ability etc. more when I get back from New Mexico in March. Going to Taos and will maybe see Larry The Fluff! As far as the photo of me and Leah--please do not post! I don't want it on the Net under any circumstances. Thanks. I think the naked photos of the women in the river from the reunion should also be taken off. Just my humble opinion. Nina -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM Teddy...................Feb 14, 1999, 18:11 (EST) Nina That's great! Say hello to Larry the Fluff (is it still Fluffy?) And that map of the claim will be perfect for more debate and fun. And the pic of you and Leah. OK, I'll be sure to add it to the kids area not. :>) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michelle...................Feb 19, 1999, 17:12 (EST) had a wonderful time with my mom. realized that i have never spent any real time alone with her. she has/had a lot of kids. we talked about things we have never talked about. my mom is cool. i always knew we had things in common but, i didn't know that i liked her. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nina...................Mar 3, 1999, 15:25 (EST) I'm back from New Mexico. Had a good time. Did see Larry "The Fluff" at his rock shop in Taos. Hey, tomorrow's my birthday. 35 years! Now doesn't that make y'all feel old. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- jim...................Mar 3, 1999, 22:10 (EST) nina happy b'day...lets see, i was 34 when you were born, and living in nyc...yes i am old..but in arizona...make a wish and blow out all the candles -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teddy...................Mar 4, 1999, 00:26 (EST) Wow, and I was only 16 years old. <br><H1>HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NINA!</H1> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter...................Mar 4, 1999, 15:15 (EST) HAPPY BIFRTHDAY NINA!

Great looking through all the pages. Last weekend, Leah had an art opening in Berkelely - outdoors. As we were standing there, who walks by but Patty -- coincidentally??!! It was great to see her - she looks terrific.
