  1. Just a reminder that there is only one month until the cook-in! It is a
    combined Orange County/San Diego County cook-in this year. It will be at
    Terry Pulliam-Burd's place in Laguna Niguel. It will start at 1:00 p.m. on
    Saturday June 10th.

    You are ALL invited to attend with welcomes. Just let me know if you would
    like to attend and I will put you on the "List". If you have questions about
    how our cook-ins work please email me and I'd be happy to answer any
    questions you may have. We would also welcome your spouce/sig. other/older
    children/friends etc. I say older children as the younger ones don't really
    seem to work. We eat and drink....a lot. We also gossip and bash those who
    are not there with great enthusiasm and good humor. We carry on the
    tradition of being "mean" to each other. My personal most-active-abusers
    Jamie Utter and Kay Hartman are unable to attend this year and I need some
    others to put me in my place. Terry and Christine are too sweet to do it.

    Please do consider coming. We have room for a big group and this is your
    chance to put faces to names. Putting it in a personal way, I have met
    scores of r.f.c.'ers over the years at cook-ins. Many of them have become
    lifelong friends. People who care about me and I care about them. This may
    be the last or one of the last cook-ins, at least at the famous West Coast
    Party Style Cook-Ins. They are not as well attended as they used to be. It
    is a wonderful tradition and I would like to see it continue.

    I'd like to thank Terry and her husband for opening their home to us. It
    will be fun! We will drink a lot of booze! Eat lots of Food! Get a sun tan!
    Get tipsy!

    Oh, I know, Charlie. I would like to see them continue as well, even
    though I am not able to get to them all....

    That being said, I am going to try to continue the tradition when I
    settle here in NM...probably going to try to have a cook-in here in NM
    next year...

    Did you invite Mimi? I am sure she could continue the tradition of
    abusing you...

    I do not. There are r.f.c'ers who live there or nearby. Someone who shares
    my last name used to live there.....I don't know if he still does.

    That sounds like a good idea! Those Arizona people (Rita excepted) who are
    afraid to come to SoCal might have enough backbone to travel N.M! I'd like
    to visit there too!

    You can but try. I may be shy but I am a tough old bird. Terry and I have
    discussed a couple of cocktails that will certainly loosen your smart ass
    mouth!

    I did indeed invite Mimi. The last time I heard from her she wasn't feeling
    well. I will write again to check on them. Laguna Niguel is closer to her
    than Poway was. Oodly the last time we were at a cook-in together, Mimi was
    very nice to me. Must have been a bad day for her! I gotta bug Dimitri again
    too!

    Charlie, who doesn't run.

    No worries. Kent Gifford is a skydiving buddy of mine.
    He and Cynthia are Mormons. Lovely people.
    I'll try and chase him up somehow.

    Although Kent is not a family name, he is probably distantly related. There
    is a branch of my family who are Mormons. They aren't closely related
    though. The most closely related Giffords to me are on the East Coast.

    Thanks for the information Peter. Kent is not the Gifford I knew of in
    Oceanside. Interesting!

    Thanks Christine! I've never eaten New Mexican food before. It is a cuisine
    all it's own.

    She is indeed attending! I agree that she has a bit of elfin deviltry to
    her, or perhaps of mischevious sprite. We have some new rfc'ers attending
    this year as well! From what I have been told privately, we are in for some
    Excellent food Dude! <dude being unisexual> A most Excellent Adventure
    awaites Christine!

    I didn't get to meet Kents family when I was there (I think they may be
    East Coast), but I got to meet some of Cynthias when we took her for a
    Tandem skydive at Otay.

    What a view from 12,000' that place is!! You can almost *see* all the
    runners coming over the border :-)
