I hope we can entice you north again sometime soon. I’ll be interested to hear of your experiences with computer draw-downs of pique. I leave out the shots that don’t show on the surface mine don’t look right. Perhaps it is because the computer thinks in terms of 50/50 weaves. Bob and I will be driving back from Vancouver and staying overnight in Banff on Aug. 22. We’ll get to Banff in the late afternoon. I’ll give you a call - and hope that you will be free to come and have dinner with us. Love, Eileen May 31, 1989” Printed in pencil “HETT E-14-#14 -96”
