- On too-short notice for Linda, Heather performed Detective Report duties focusing on the origin of the “high 5” greeting. Turns out this widespread salute in use everywhere today originated at the Oct 2, 1977 last game of the season at Dodger Stadium. The great Dusty Baker hit his 30th home run of the season, making the Dodgers the first team in history to have four hitters with at least 30 home runs in a single season, he and Glenn Burke exchanged the first high 5. Thanks Heather.

- Today’s speaker is Karen Asherah, photography artist. Karen works full-time as a social worker, but her passion is photography, especially of horses and other animals. She will be exhibiting for the upcoming Open Studios in October in Santa Cruz County at her studio in Ben Lomond. For more information: www.karenasherah.com.
