It is an awfully long drive from SoCal to the Bay area now, as it is with the Interstate system.

I can't find anything specific online, though there are several mentions of the group.

I wonder if this "heart trouble" has any connection with the Marfan syndrome you've been researching -- but it's the Beans who have that, right, not the woman who married Sam?? How devastating for Sam and his sons that they lost Maud, after all that had happened.<br /><br />Very distressing. Fine, persistent research, but a very distressing outcome.Mariannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543003593158696611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-70270579938092515492013-05-01T15:19:09.552-07:002013-05-01T15:19:09.552-07:00We knew this was coming, but still it is so sad. ...We knew this was coming, but still it is so sad.
