My Golly!. Thanks for coming aboard, Paul. On a personal note-- I spent
many hours roaming the grounds there in Strawberry Canyon at U of C when I
was a kid ~1933-34. I especially remember collecting some discarded cacti
from the garbage pile mostly from the Opuntia group next to my bare skin,
and spending the better part of the next 2-3 days in misery picking nearly
invisible spines out of my swollen belly skin. My mother helped some with a
magnifying glass. (They looked so soft--how could they be spines?.) . I
became skilled with a tweezers and improved my fine motor skills
substantially. .
