*** Quoting Ruth Haffly from a message to Carol Shenkenberger ***

RH> Hi Carol,

 CS> Ok!  I'll catch up eventually but I'm having fun reading all the stuff

RH> And by the time you get all caught up, your main system will be packed
RH> out and on its way stateside.  Can you believe that?

 CS> Groan, dont remind me.  It's awful close looming to us here.

RH> I know, I was in the same position last year at this time with less ti
RH> (2 weeks) to go before leaving HI.

Systems pack out 10-11 SEP.  I don't leave til 3 weeks later. I'll have the
laptop though and hook that to the cable modem.  That should work for the next
2 weeks before we have that removed and shift to a hotel.


 CS> Humm, blackened sesame perchance?  If so let me know as i have seen
 CS> that here.

RH> See my description to Dale; I don't think it was sesame seeds.  That
RH> sounds interesting; are they that radically different from the "regula
RH> sesame seeds we get over here?

I'm not sure and being so behind, I won't see the description to Dale for a
bit. I havent tried them, just seen them.  They make a special 'black Tahini'
out of them and i know little else.  They could just be pre-roasted to black
for all I can tell.  Come to think of it, they are a 'winter food' in this
seasonal eating land so I may not see them now.

RH> We had friends (first met in TX, stationed several times together) who

 CS> I wonder about this.  There are some foods if you feed them too young
 CS> to a child, they are very prone to developed allergies to it.  Could
 CS> that be it?

RH> That, and the fact that in this family, the mom had some major allergy
RH> asthma problems. The kid was nursed but has to be supplimented--and
RH> trying to find a formula that wouldn't give him trouble was a big
RH> problem.

I can imagine that.  Charlotte has no known alleries.  Don is allergic to
penicillin but not any other antibiotics that we know of. I am allergic to
betadine and atropine but nothing else.

 CS> That would be start of the school year.  Busy time and all the locals
 CS> are into it.  Who were your friends?  Small area and if they have
 CS> lived there a long time, I might know them.

RH> They lived in Anderson but their daughter, Donna Richey was an 88

I know a Richey family. Cant say as the name Donna rings any bells but if she
was in Clemson in 1988, I left in 1983.  There were 2 families that I recall
and one I think was spelled 'Richie' but they were known 'cousins'.  One
white, one black, and cant recall which used which spelling.  They had family
in Anderson and Easley that i know of.  I didnt know either set well, but in
that size town, I knew of them.  Does Clarence ring a bell anywhere for
related?  Car mechanic at the time i knew him.


 CS> In fact, sounds like the Houghton clan <g>.  Maybe Deborah and Charles
 CS> Pinckny own that name now as she was an only kid so probably by now
 CS> inherited the house.  He makes great carved abolone jewelrey.

RH> Sounds like it would be pretty--have you seen examples of what he does

I used to but I got most of his stuff as gifts for others and it's all gone
now.  He did great scrimshaw on various bone types when he could get it. The
big 'hotel' on the hill looking over Clemson university has houses to the left
of it.  Dorathy and he would have owned the one about 3 from the bottom of the
drop down the foot trail to town. That is, if they inherited it and I am sure
they did.  They may have sold it though and stayed in Atlanta.
