Quiet start, just 2 for much of the first 1/2 hour.  Then our eldest friend of peace came round the corner; her first visit of the season.  We were delighted to see her; but concerned because the van which has a folding chair was not there.  Luckily there's a bench at the edge of the sidewalk and she sat there, holding a sign.  We moved ourselves and signs to stand beside her and hear the news of her life - 91 years, this summer I believe.  About 5:30 a friend from the Eastern Oregon came from the North end of the block and soon one more, stopping on his way home from work.  With the later addition of 2 we finished the hour with six.
