For the past week, I have had the wonderful company of Jan Eliot and her partner, Ted, who travelled all the way here from Eugene, Oregon. Jan does the syndicated family comic strip "Stone Soup" which makes this visit even more exceptional. I know how hard Jan has had to work to get ahead of her deadlines in order to take this time off.
Jan is syndicated by Universal Press — as I am — and we have known each other for over 20 years. It’s been fun taking them out in the boat with my friend John, around the town and even to the town of Temagami, where we climbed the fire tower, bumbled about the town and took a float plane tour of a small part of (the incredibly large and complex) Lake Temagami. Jan and I have enjoyed “talking shop” — something I’ve missed a lot since I retired. Here are a few pics from our visit.
