Fred Horrell: 1901 - 2001
A note just received from my aunt: Fred Horrell died. Fred and Doug lived just around the corner from my Grandparents in Trenton, and provided a welcome hiding place many times when we were out and about and in no rush to get home. Fred was almost 101.

Eudora Welty has died. Not many people know that the email application Eudora was named after her, and when I reminded Qualcomm (who now owns the application) they agreed to put a tribute up on their home page. Eudora was also featured in an episode of the Simpsons when she dated Krusty the Clown.

California Uber Alles
Finally, a “photo essay on our California trip.”:/california/ Be warned, this is 12 pages long and contains lots of pictures. Not to be entered lightly, or by the slow of modem.
Goderich, July 2001
The Goderich area is well known in Ontario as the home of Sifto on the shore of Lake Huron. The Sour Kraut homestead is located about 30km north in the small town of Kintail.
Our most recent visit to Ontario brought us back to Goderich for the first time in over six months. It’s easy to forget when you live by the ocean how enormous the Great Lakes are, and Huron is a spectacular body of water, particularly on from Goderich north to Tobermory, and in the Killarney area on the other side of Georgian Bay.
I was left with the opposite impression at the end of our trip when we were waiting in Burlington, at the very tip of Lake Ontario; it becomes very obvious how relatively small it is when you can see the other shore. Lake Ontario has other problems as well, most of them caused by the fact that it’s the most populous of the Great Lakes. I’ve never been to Superior, but I imagine that it would be a stunning place too.
We happened to be in Goderich when the annual craft show was taking place at the town square (actually a hexagon, but who’s counting?) This was an event that I used to go to with bizarre frequency, and none of my trips have ever been planned. I’m not sure why, I just seem to wind up there at exactly the right moment. A wall of teddy bears couldn’t be resisted.

University of Toronto & University College
My alma matter is the University of Toronto, Canada’s largest university and one of the most beautiful campuses anywhere.
The university’s campus is just on the edge of Downtown Toronto, and is a beautiful oasis of greenspace in the middle of a concrete jungle. In the summers, I used to ride down there from Scarborough just to enjoy it. Later, when I lived downtown and walked about an hour to work each morning, I usually made it a point of cutting through the campus.
