last week's jaunt was very enjoyable, although the weather did not always co-operate...however the pbase team remained steadfast and spontaneous, making the excursion a true delight...these are the pals that made it to the coast: on the left Neil Marcus, a spritely octogenarian bursting with talent and energy...on the right Sam Rua, and a reunion with him was truly a treat...the rose between the two is Marcia Rules, a marvelous talent and a wonderful person...we all learned from Marcia, who consistently demonstrates what a singular vision can achieve..
