    It is exciting to read about Asheville and what is going on there. We lived there 1985-1991 and I personally miss the environment greatly. Down in Houston now, a great city in its own right. We lived on Louisiana on the west side. The weather was so easy. Still can’t believe I moved away, but young and dumb, as they say. Be well
