Dean, I'm all for the Prime Rib. My first time there, I was given a DO full of "primed ribs" which were rib-bones, painted with grey primer! This time, I will be pleased to enjoy REAL Prime Rib, just like we had at the Redwood Gathering. Thank you very much, see you there.

Yes, I remember him. I remember his, "...many parts are edible." statement.

Euell Gibbons

Yes I met him at the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School in 1970.
He gave everybody a booklet; Stalking the Wild ???. I still have it
packed away in the garage. At the time I didnot realize how famous
and important this guy was and is. I prefer beef, but if need be, I
can eat a pine tree and enjoy it!

Back in the early 1970's when Euell Gibbons was well known and hang gliding was becoming popular, I saw a guy with a tee shirt that had a picture of a crashed hang glider stuck in a tree. The writing on it said "Ever eat a pine tree?".
