1978 Catherine's Letter to John -May 22

Monday morning
May 22, 1978
Dear John,

Hi!  Sorry it has taken me awhile to get this letter off to you.  How did your meeting with Batchelder go?  Do you think you will be working for him this fall regardless of how the California race comes out?  Did I send you the clipping about how all the candidates for governor are upset because people are paying more attention to the tax issue than they are to the governor race?  This tax deal is a real big issue – it was even on 60 minutes last night on TV. 

Wendy is acting like a one-person band right now.  She is hitting a tin can with a spoon and singing along with her "music."  She has really been vocal lately – trying out all sorts of new sounds.  This past weekend we went camping – DeeDee was here and we also took along DeeDee's Gilroy friend, Jenny.  They can really make Wendy laugh just by laughing with her.  We had a good time camping – it is a county park that is fairly remote and doesn't attract too many tourists (like Yosemite for instance) although it was fairly well filled up over the weekend.  We saw maybe two or three empty spots out of about 30.  They don't take reservations so DeeDee and I had gone up around noon on Friday to get a choice spot.  We did quite a bit of hiking.  While we were there a five year old boy got lost in the woods – he and his parents were hiking around three in the afternoon when his mother fell down and while the father was helping her the little boy wandered off.  They didn't find him until around noon the next day.  That must be a pretty scary experience for both the child and the parents.

We are hoping to see Roberta this summer as she has mentioned she may be coming this direction.  Debby is also planning to come out during her vacation which is in July.  She broke up with the guy she had been going with for over a year but we gather that she found a new boyfriend in pretty short order.  We haven't seen her since Christmas of 76 so we are looking forward to her coming.

Well, I guess your address will be Hudson Guild for the summer so I will address our next letter to you there.

Let us know what is new with you on the political scene.

Love,
Gerry, Catherine
& Wendy

P.S. Read in today's paper (which Gerry hasn't read so I can't send the clipping yet) where YAF supports Davis.
