[PyrNet-L] The infamous Albert

["Rebecca Reisch" <cantante@earthlink.net>]

Well, I finally met the infamous Albert!  Klondike and I had a great time on
the Puget Sound Pyr hike this Saturday, and it was wonderful to meet the
trailer toting, log chomping Albert.  What a character!  All the Albert
stories have an extra dimension now!  

As for Klonnie, he is now ready for the Oct. 3rd  4-mile hike to benefit the
Humane Society.  Wish us luck!
