Just got this nice note from Mark Gardner about the islanders he ran into in CA, along with his cool pictures:

Hi Ian! Here’s something for the Update.  Three artists from San Juan Island are exhibiting at the LaQuinta Festival of the Arts in La Quinta, CA (Palm Springs area). Fiber artist Mary Sly, assisted by Sue Evans, won an award for best in category.  Jason & Danielle Napier displayed his bronze sculpture.  And, last but not least, Dona Reed, offered her prints and vessels. The La Quinta Festival of the Arts is among the top rated art shows in the U.S.

San Juan Islander Bob Stavers, who’s visting the area to cycle, also dropped by. BTW, the weather is perfect; it’s in the 80’s and sunny.
