We live in the suburbs of Buffalo, and just returned from a day trip to Chautauqua. I am new to your blog, so imagine my surprise when I read about your trip.

What you describe sounds like the Institute continues to be quite interesting.<br /><br />Though circumstances evolved so that I've lived longer in California than elsewhere and I would not move back to Ohio now, I'm glad for my grounding years there. I think all those surrounding Great Lakes States are special. Ohio will always occupy a tender place in my heart. I would have gladly moved back there, or most any other place, from one State where I had to live in the late '40s, early '50's where overt segregation prevailed ... but then moving back to Ohio in the mid-'50s I discovered covert discrimination in a small town there which my native-born Ohio friends and I proceeded to confront and surreptitiously overcome.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-63601624430871688442014-08-12T21:56:18.947-04:002014-08-12T21:56:18.947-04:00Can't wait to see your new photographs.

The description we provide to someone looking for a golf partner they had never met "Old guy, gray hair, might be wearing glasses and a hat... you can't miss him."<br /><br />2. The young and healthy are at work, therefore, they cannot attend. Who's left but us old folks?Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-70481679718627420002014-08-12T09:07:30.948-04:002014-08-12T09:07:30.948-04:00My uncle and aunt have lived in Ohio for a number ...My uncle and aunt have lived in Ohio for a number of years.
