Spoke with Red's daughter and he is doing well in the independent/assisted living quarters, only problem is that they will not let him have his bird feeder outside his window.  Red will be 90 years old on June 5th.  They will have a small party for him and I know Red would enjoy hearing from everyone.  His address is listed below so around the first of June lets all send his a birthday card.  His cell number is 512-569-5262.

Hi Francis
On Tues. April 1 Red will move to Apt 340 at Parson's House in Austin. The address is 1130 Camino La Costa, Austin, TX 78752.
He is getting to be unsteady and he fell in the barn last week. He had a compression fracture in a vertebrae. He realizes that he can't take care of the stock and other chores, so, practical as ever, he agreed to the move.  He can't really picture a life that isn't centered around the outdoors and hard work. However, as we pack and talk about it, he is getting the idea of a private apartment, having all his meals cooked, and having people around to talk to.
