Not to overdue the golf theme of late, but the whole town is buzzing over Dewitt’s Dan McCarthy qualifying for the US Open Golf Tournament at Pebble Beach next week. My Charlie is thrilled for the accomplishments of his friend who caddied for Charlie two years ago in the Post Standard Amateur. ”Danny” finished in second place in the regional qualifier after 36 holes played in New Jersey yesterday. Charlie tried too but never got past the local game played at Bellevue a few weeks ago.
Best of luck to Dan as he begins a dream week by signing 150 flags representing the 150 players who will compete in California; players like Michelson, Woods and a few others with whom even non-golfers like myself are familiar.

And now the answer to the quiz about the location of the magnificent climbing rose bush photographed in the previous post. It is on South Colvin Street, near South Avenue, a brilliant display of color and life in a block many people do not notice when they drive by.

You do have an eye for color Maureen. Google gave me directions to get to CBA via Colvin from Onondaga Hill yesterday. I ended up using 481 to get my grandson out there. Wonder if I would have noticed that beautiful bush. I read the article about Dan McCarthy in the Post.. What a thrill for him. I’ve been to Pebble Beach. I will have to watch that tournament. Hope Charlie can play there some day.
Thanks for the good wishes for all Carol, and yes, you would have to have seen the red rose on Colvin had you taken that route. It’s spectacular!
