I was an occasional visitor to the farm in the years '72-74, mostly to the clinic, I worked at JoGeneral in GP and had access to medical supplies. I live in Montana now, retired, and find the times we live in hard to reconcile with what we thought then the world would be.
I was in Takilma in 1970. At the time I was a kid. It was okay in the summer, but I remember having a pretty rough time in our shack once the weather turned cold and wet. In hindsight I had pretty
irresponsible parents. I have grown up to be a pretty straight right wing guy. I could never imaging exposing my kids to some of the stuff I saw growing up with hippies. I also remember Gilbert. He
had an old ford tractor if I remember correctly. I think his place was pretty close to the store and had a big meadow that he would plow. I don't think it looks at all the same now as it did back
then. I remember the first place we stayed was out in front of the Mirage Garage. One of the shacks between the road and the river. We later started making payments on a little place next to Val and
Sabena about 2 miles (I guess) up the road. I tried to find the place on google maps, but it looks like the trees have grown lots bigger over the years. Looks very different from what I remember.
Love the book! I think the web site looks good, clean and simple to navigate. I wish you continued success. I will contact you later with more info.
