Caldwell, Texas
Odometer Reading: 13418.8
The next planned stop is to see Ron’s cousin and Joyce and her family. I spoke with Joyce last evening and again this morning. Her husband, Elliot was diagnosed with kidney cancer last month. There was no evidence of metastasis and nodes were clear so surgery was scheduled for last week. Unfortunately, his PCP noticed a mole on his face that looked suspicious so had it removed. The biopsy returned a diagnosis of a stage four Melanoma with metastasis into his left neck tissue. He is scheduled for nodal biopsies again and then a plan of treatment will be implemented. Joyce is upset because he has had the mole on his face for several years and his PCP never showed concern about it in the past. At present the kidney surgery is on hold.
<--JOYCE,DAN (Arthures Child) ARTHURE. Ron and I felt uncomfortable about visiting at this time of crisis for Joyce and her family but she insisted we come anyway. She felt it would be comforting to both her and Elliot 
to have family with them. Although the situation is grim both Joyce and Elliot were gracious hosts and we had a wonderful ELLIOT AND DAN --->

TIMS DAUGHTER
We had to say our goodbyes this Thursday morning because our trip is winding to an end. It was a good visit and we hope to return on a future trip.

Ron thought we should stop at Dealy Plaza on our way through Dallas so we found a place to park the RV and disconnected the Jeep so we could drive into Dallas. We went to the Book Depository, which is now a museum,
from which Oswald was supposed to have shot President Kennedy. We never believed the Warren Commission’s report and visiting Dealy Plaza cemented our beliefs that more then one person was involved in the assassination. We met a man who was giving an informative talk about the happenings of that day. He was FIRST SHOT X
13 at the time of the assassination but was a witness to the events. He was very well spoken and shared some very interesting facts about that day. In fact, many people including police officers witnessed gun smoke from the grassy knoll and fence. 
There are markings on the fence that indicate where at least two other shooters were standing. There are markings on the road indicating where the second and third shots hit President Kennedy – exactly in a perfect line with the markings on the fence. I guess we will never know the truth!!!! DO NOT CLICK IF YOU ARE SKITTISH.

Then it was back to the RV. Oophs!!!! Ron left the keys in the ignition and guess what? The driver’s side door was not locked!!! I guess we were lucky no one tried to get into the RV while we were gone. Next, it was hook-up time. My job is to set the Jeep in travel mode involving setting the transmission into neutral, then the transfer case into neutral. Once that is done the transmission goes into park and the ignition key into on position.
We took off and Ron was fighting with the wheel. The RV was pulling to the right. He pulled over and noticed that the wheels on the Jeep were not turning left to right. I had not set the key in the right position. We were both messing up so decided we should find a place to stay for the night so we pulled into the nearest WalMart and spent the night without further mishap.
