Mom was still living at the abandoned house near Dallas - this is a picture she sent me at that time

Nov 1984

Paid $10 in dues for the CRA tennis club. I was treasurer for this club at a later date. I was also involved with the ping pong group, and had become fairly proficient.

Jef now working in RB was asked by Frank(Flaco) where to camp in Borrego and Jef suggested PegLeg area. Flaco had a beat up old panel truck, went east of there and got stuck, but managed to get out. The following month we went out together and actually camped near Peg Leg..

Completed a short course in the Ada programming language this month.

Flaco probably went to cannon party this month. Jef may have first gone following April.
