(A note: Michaellen Grangier, a woman in her 30’s, who has muscular dystrophy, visited last night. I talked to her on the back porch until I got pretty chilled through [temperature was in the high 30’s].

Michaellen is to return to California today. She left Jane a couple of tapes of songs [by others] and a piece of healing quartz. For the past week she has been visiting a relative who lives on Underwood Avenue here in town—not much more than a stone’s throw away.
