I'm in the book or let me know a few days in advance so I know that I can be free. In fact , anyone else who happens to be in the neighborhood, please call. The coffee pot is always on. There is one request ...................... don't tell anyone else. This island is getting too damn crowded. Now that we are here, "Quick, let's pull up the drawbridge". I will mail privately about Black Star, I'm not sure he wants a name associated with the story. He is still very active. Cheers, David Medley Whidbey Is.
