Very nice article Ginny. Cline with its Mission Museum and Jacuzzi with its Italian Villa vibe are two of my favorite wineries to visit.

I’ve placed a link to your piece in the article Suzie Rodgrques wrote for me at http://www.inetours.com/PagesWT/Wineries/Carneros/Cline-Cellars.html where you can view a couple of my photos of the museum and farmhouse.

I would like one of the planters. Could you bring it to the next reunion gathering?

Ginny, I may be visiting England, Scotland, and Ireland this summer and just wanted to see what you had to say. In your way of looking at the world, you always find a sub-story that is very entertaining and brings the art of travel writing to a personal level involvement and pleasure. I hope I have as much fun as you did.

This is a fantastic article! I had the opportunity to learn under Professor Singh in her communication theory class. Thanks for writing this, Ginny!

To any one WHO IS A FORMER STUDENT of Mrs. Larkin at John Swett Elemetary School (I have been told the party can only accommodate her students, not just anyone from John Swett School, years ago):

There is going to be a SURPRISE party thrown by her neighbor for her 100th Birthday on December 7th, 2011 from 5 to 8 PM with appetizers and cake.

If interested, please contact me. chezsongbird@yahoo.com Put Mrs. Larkin in the subject line.

Comment on Town Crier: What’s to do about Montclair Village vacancies? by Susan "Backpack45" Alcorn

Susan "Backpack45" Alcorn — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 20:18:55 +0000

I haven’t really studied this issue, but with the Montclair Hardware store moving, and the nearby hardware store in Glenview closing because of retirement, we are left with no convenient hardware store in the Village.

The owner of the Montclair hardware store (who has now relocated south of the Village), told me that the rent had gone up 100% and that is what drove him out.

I guess that’s free enterprise, but it is sad to see “oldtimers” forced out by rent increases.
