Anne and Chuck submitted on January 14, 1970This Monday Anne worked at the clinic and Chuck mowed the lawn and took guests to the Town of Cherokee to visit the museum and shops. The work at the hospital continues to go well. The garden is growing. The corn will be knee high by the fourth of July. On Saturday we hiked again, this time along Sassafras Creek in the Snowbird Mountains. There was still a climb, but instead of reaching a peak we passed three waterfalls. We also encountered several fly fishermen after brook trout. One told us that the stream was special because it was a large stream without the introduced brown and rainbow species. He showed his catch of lovely brookies.

Health for men
Tom submitted on January 14, 1970A Cure for What Ales You "A main ingredient in beer may help prevent prostate cancer and enlargement, according to a new study," the Associated Press reports from Corvallis, Ore.: But researchers say don't rush out to stock the refrigerator because the ingredient is present in such small amounts that a person would have to drink more than 17 beers to benefit. Boy is the AP ever confused. Quite obviously if you have to drink 17 beers, that would mean you do need to rush out to stock the fridge. Some journalists just don't understand science.

Clearwater Festival
Kara submitted on January 14, 1970Hello everybody, The internship I’ve been doing for the past two and a half months is coming to an end and the event I have been preparing for is approaching. I have been coordinating the Green Living Expo which is a part of the Great Hudson River Revival. The Revival is a weekend-long festival which takes place in Croton (a bit north of us). There will be tons of music, entertainment, crafts, dancing, environmental action groups, sails on the river, kayak raffle, and of course the Green Living Expo (a showcase for green businesses). I thought a few people might be interested in coming. If you are, please let me know, because I have a few day comp passes. (children 12 and under free).

Dear Family
Therese submitted on January 14, 1970I have placed several Woods Family pictures in the gallery. Many of you will have to get passwords from Mark to log on to the gallery. Those are the only ones I’ve found so far. Please feel free to add any you may have. I have not been able to title it yet. Maybe you could do that for me Mark. Also, I would love to have some pictures of Aunt Helen, Grandma and Grandpa Woods, Grandma and Grandpa Bracewell, Grandma and Aunt Hildegarde and Philomena placed on the website if any of you could. I would appreciate that. Thanks! Love to all, Therese

Anne and Chuck submitted on January 14, 1970We are settling in for our long stay in this lovely setting in the mountains of western Carolina. Anne started work last week and began seeing patients solo in the clinic today. The atmosphere is different in the institutional setting and with patients of a somewhat different culture. Although there are some apprehensions, she anticipates a very positive experience. Chuck is still learning how to manage this homestead. He fed the horses yesterday for the first time. The three big dogs are now old hat, but always a bit of a challenge. He has even made friends with one of the cats. The other seems not to like men. He quickly prepared the garden last week and planted on June 1 and 2. The garden is large, about 50x50, so we should have sweet corn at the end of summer. The soil seems good, and most importantly the garden is well fenced.
