My sister Patricia arrived from Denver today. Erin and Patricia have
September birthdays 5 days apart, so they have always had a
special bond.Patricia came to see Erin and to play in the Regional Tournament
which is taking place at the Double Tree. Brother Jim also came
up from Berkeley to play in the tournament. Clark and Erin met
us for dinner at Roxy. Then Barbara, the volunteer, came and
stayed with Erin tonight while Clark and I played on a team with
Jim and Patricia. We won none of our 4 matches!

Jim had his cochlear implant activated yesterday and he is
elated hearing sounds he hasn’t heard in years.
