Platteville visit

Am in Platteville for two plus days. Yesterday met with
DJM, EPI webmaster, for a tutorial. He has a most
fascinating place with great interest in old oak, old
recording/playing instruments, and photography. Has a
powerful peace focused series of installations. Learned
something of the website management. Needs to be redone in
the new site, bottom-line. I need to get someone else to
help me.

Then we went to a community awards meeting in the city
park. Wonderful sense of community. VH with whom I've been
email-corresponding was there so saw her again. Had
realized that I might not visually recognize her and
initially did not. Will eat dinner with her tonight and
then go to a concert in Dubuque. She's from Iowa
originally, turns out, when I talked later on the
telephone with her.

The mother of the musician whose concert we'll attend
turns out to be an artist too, an early contributor to
EPI. Will meet her at 1 pm. She and husband will also go
to the concert as will DJM.

Checked the map for where VH lives and it turns out to be
within 10 miles of where my mother was born in Montfort,
Wisconsin.
