Haha, the Guatemala microlots were awesome. I tagged up your bathroom, as usual. I was going to grab some Foot schwag, but I under estimated my spending capabilities, so I had to hold off. Major bummer. I was hoping to grab a new shirt and some tasty spro. Next time. How's the new roasting works coming along?

Andy-
Good to hear from you! I've been working, traveling and enjoying life away from the SCAA and committee work. I've found business life to be much more rewarding away from the SCAA, committees and online forums.

How have you been doing?

Hi Andy, Rast-mother here. Thanks for the add, and for guiding us into this great, wonderful world of Coffee-hood. We feel like we're in very good hands, and can't wait to be serving "high octane" drinks from the old gas station. Best wishes, Carole and family

It's a hand-tinted photo dated 1938, building is circa 1935. In the '20's, the corner was operated by Kitazawa Seed Co., who is still in business up in Berkeley. We've found a 1950's gas pump that we're having restored. Can't place it back on the island because the seismic cross-bracing is in the way. The 1956 Cavalier Coke Machine will be returned though. A restored original that always sat on the corner. We're thinking that the FB/80 red will match the old Coke Machine's red. Whaddya think?
