HITS Horse Facility

Yesterday I went to HITS, the Hunter/Jumper horse facility in Thermal, CA. (Thermal is near Indio, Palm Springs, etc.)

There were many participants from across the U.S. as well as a few from other nations. It was fun watching the various competitions.

I also got to meet many nice people, but the most interesting was a family from the Kansas City area. During the conversation, cousin Jim mentioned having been a teacher in Los Alamos, NM, and the people said they knew someone living in Witchita, KS, whose father was an educator in Los Alamoss. They called her and we found out the lady is the daughter of Ed Spence, the man who was responsible for hiring Jim in 1971. It truly is a small world.

I plan to be in the area for another week and then will head to Camp Verde, AZ. After about 10 days there, I will go to Chandler for the FMCA Internatinal Convention and back north to Cottonwood for three weeks. I plan to be in Colorado around the middle of April.

Warmest regards, Gus
