Howard W. Hewitt,  Oakland,  Calif. - It's Sunday evening and I fly home quite early Monday morning. This is a short "travelogue" entry for the wine folks who've read the blog and share my interest in wine. I don't want to take space from the quick look at my visits with the Wabash alumni that  you can read below. I spent almost three days doing wine country and I've attached a photo album with a little longer information on each picture for those interested. And I am bringing home a little wine; ok, maybe more than a little!

Be sure to look for the Wabash Magazine stories and website profiles later this year on the nine alums we came out here to see. And by mid-week I should have a story up featuring Bronson Frick '95 and his view on a timely Surgeon General report due out before the end of the month.

Finally, thanks to  the many folks who left comments on the blog and all the e-mail about the trip. I can't wait to start writing the stories about these fascinating Wabash men!
