1980 Roberta's Letter -June 1

June 1, 1980

Dear Family,

Hi!  Thanks for your recent letter -- seems like it was esp. full of news -- you all are sure getting around!!

Called up a few places today (9) -- asking about Rent-a-car -- found Greyhound to be the best deal -- $69 per week for compact -- w/unlimited mileage -- but now they require you to either buy a $3.25 a day insurance or show proof of your own insurance policy plus $125 deposit down.  Also unless you have major credit card is $200 additional $ down.  (both to be refunded)

Marion is now enjoying her summer holidays -- has all kinds of stuff she wants to get done this coming week -- will be interesting to see how much does get done!!  She was out at 11:00 am Friday so came out to the center -- helped me w/ all my end of month data that has to be added -- also met alot of the seniors & they enjoyed that!!  She plans to come out this Tuesday -- as having CPR (modified) & heimlich (sp?) demo -- put on by fire dept.

   -- now Monday AM -- just got done taking & passing both the chauf & motorcycle tests for license renewal -- since they both expired on 14th May -- time that I took the tests!  Now over at ASU -- going thru Registration process -- it's a mess -- getting the signatures -- that form -- etc.

OH!  the folk dancing class I wanted to take was full -- so I signed up for beginning yoga -- that meets on Mondays -- 5:30-6:30 -- in the Tempe Comm. building just beside the Tempe Library.

We've really been having the company in for dinner -- Saturday night had the Stubbs (minus Rick Stubbs -- who was camping) & Sally & Connie.  Last night had the Modelezes.  Rene & Murial are getting ready to go to Puerto Rico for a week's combo business/pleasure.  We've been using the grill & eating outside -- it's 90 out & at night I get too cold to be outside -- w/out a sweatshirt!

I called up Prescott Motel 6 -- Reserved 2 rooms -- for 19th -- I'll be staying there w/ Anne Hamilton -- who you'll meet -- when here.  She works for the county -- & does nutrition & consumer ed. at our center.

Seems lines are now getting started -- will continue later . . . .

Love,

Roberta
