I had never heard of that 'sport' previously. Musta took a lota garbonzos to rope a griz. As to the women of Monteray, the book The River of the West, written by Fuller was from notes she took while Joe Meek verbally related his experiences to her. The bear baiting reference was from a lay over in Monteray during the winter of 1833-34 by part of the fur company Meek was part of. The women are described thusly, "The dress of the women was a gown of gaudy calico or silk, and a bright colored shawl, which served for mantila and bonnet together. They were well formed with languishing eyes and soft voices; and doubtless appeared charming in the eyes of our band of trappers, with whom they accosciated freely at fandangoes, bull-fights, or bear-baitings." Wow. Don't think I would have wanted to move on either. Frank G.

Hospital to remove another tumor that reformed in the same spot as the original one. We have not heard anything about how today's operation went. We will forward any news we get.
