We have a copy of it in our Del Mesa Carmel Library. I understand you may be available for a speaking engagement. It would be interesting to hear some stories in person. It is the history of so many in this area. Please let me know if you are interested.

I am very happy that I stumbled upon your blog, I just wish I had done so sooner. I would have loved to be able to attend your 60th anniversary party and to meet you and your family, but with only 10 days notice I don't think that will happen. I guess I should back up a bit. I'm sending this message from Ohio, where I have lived my entire life. My parents met in California while my father was in the armed forces. My mother was from Manteca, but after they married my dad brought her back to his hometown here in Ohio, and we have been here ever since. Sometimes I wish my mother had been more persuasive about staying in Califonia. I love visiting California, and have done so about a dozen times over the years. I have been to Nepenthe twice, the first time about 15 years ago, and most recently this past summer. It is truly one of the most magical places I have ever been to. The natural beauty of the setting is matched only by the friendliness of the people, the great food, and the architecture. I also happen to be a very big student and fan of architecture, in particular that of Frank Lloyd Wright and his followers. The first time I visited Nepenthe, I had not yet discovered my affinity for great architecture, and had no idea that the restaurant had been designed by a student of Wright. But on my most recent visit, I took full advantage of the opportunity to study the design of the complex, while also enjoying the people, the food, the weather and the views, and it was magnificent. The place just has a vibe that is hard to describe to those who have not been fortunate enough to experience it for themselves, as I'm sure you know all to well. Sorry to ramble on so long, but that place has left an indelible impression upon me, as I'm sure you can tell. I'm sure you will have an incredible time on the 24th with all of your family and friends, as well you should. Coming from someone who has only had the chance to be there twice in a lifetime (so far), tell those who are there regularly to never take the magic of the place for granted. Have fun at your gathering, and please raise a toast to all of those who have passed through your midst. Tell your family thank you for creating such a wonderful refuge, and please let me know as soon as your book is available, as I am so looking forward to it. Romney-

Hello from the great Midwest. I am very happy that I stumbled upon your blog, I just wish I had done so sooner. I would have loved to be able to attend your 60th anniversary party and to meet you and your family, but with only 10 days notice I don’t think that will happen.
