Jon Crispin's Notebook

Thanks to everyone who has sent along condolences about Mavis.  We are really missing her, especially Pearl. /  We walk alot near the UMASS track facility and just close to where we park the car is a small pond that starts out very clear in the Spring and over the Summer becomes filled with some kind of very green algae.  For a while this family of ducks was hanging around.  They couldn’t be bothered by the fact that we were checking them out.
