[AT] Hey George Willer!!!

[Spencer Yost]

I sure do miss George, and I always miss it when I can't make it to Portland. It's always a great time.  I miss Elvira too (-;  Thanks for bringing up his name, Farmer.

A new grand-daughter 8 days ago is keeping me from Portland this year.   Watching the farm while my wife helps my daughter.

I hope everyone else makes it.   You don't know what you are missing if you haven't been!

PS:  Here is a picture of the "Portland buster".  Happiest, calmest, quietest infant I've ever been around.  That smile on her face is permanent.
