My thanks to Lorraine Bignall for her help with the photos tonight - my apologies to Col Matterson & Lynn Puiatti that I have not been able to extract the photo from Peter's dinosaur phone of our playing partners for the day.  I will post the photo when I have had time to extract it.  Of course it was all Peter's fault that I forgot my iPhone and iPad today as he was harassing me to get out the door when we still had plenty of time to make the tee time.  I felt like I had lost a limb which explains my golf score.
