From Waterville High to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to Jacobs Field, the venues have gotten larger over the years. This past week, Justin was selected to join the University of Michigan Marching Band Drumline Performance Block! He will be playing tenor drums in a marching band over 200 members strong. He anxiously awaits his debut in front of 110,000 enthusiastic Big House (Michigan Stadium) fans as Michigan opens their season on Saturday against Appalachian State. You can wish him luck at jghop@umich.edu.

When George Reynolds E-mailed me to say that he'd taken some of his photographs of the Mill to the Library to add to the display, also sent me this picture that he'd taken of his wife, Barbara, during a recent visit to Waterville, IRELAND!! (Thanks, George!)
Don't forget to take YOUR photos to the Library, too!
Skip Foppes was the first, then I took a few and the collection is growing!!!
And if you don't have pictures to add --- just go and look!

Coming over Hanover Hill from Clinton, the other day, I pulled over to admire a fantastic HOP VINE growing up the guy line of a telephone pole in front of a pretty little house. The lady who lives there saw me and came right out ..............
Sarah Schachtler, who said that her late husband Pete's family had been in the hop business when he was a little boy, remembered that the rootings of that vine had been given to them when their house was new by Fredolyn and Sally Zweifel!
Seeing these bushes always starts me humming: "I am the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valleys" which is, of course, from the Song of Solomon, but was set to music in a wonderful early-American composition by William Billings (1746-1800) that was sung, many times, by Tapesty - the All-Centuries Singers when I was one of their number.

Except for the size of the tree, this picture must have looked the same for years and years!
On West Bacon Street, one of the houses is getting a new look!
