Old friends are now “long time” friends. “Old” sounds, well..., old. Rob has known Ralph since our years at West Anchorage High School, Class of ’64. Yeh, that is a long time. Before heading for our new overseas adventure [See Warm Springs Blog] we drove down to La Verne, CA to visit Ralph and Ruth again. Excellent time exchanging brags about our children and a great morning hike through Rancho Santa Ana in nearby Claremont, CA. It features 55 acres preserved for the 22,000 native California plant varieties from the foothills to the desert climates.
