13 INTERNATIONAL MESSAGE

By Kathy Werner

The International Committee held a gala farewell party in June to recognize the graduating internationals and to wel­ come the new arrivals. Special honors went to CAPT and Mrs. Dean Taylor, who have se rved the Committee as both friends and advisors, and to John and Sandy Kolodziej , our terrific outgoing Committee Chairmen. We are happy that both couples will be remaining in the area - the Taylors will be retiring to their new home in Pebble Beach ; the Kolod­ ziejs will assume the duties as new ad­ visors to the committee. 0

There are as many kinds of truffles as there are varieties of mushrooms and once again , not all are fit for consump­ tion. Th e best, however, are re puted to come from the oak forests of Perigord of southwest France.

After maturity, bits of truffles are placed near the trees in the soil and more waiting begins. After six to ten years the first har­ vest takes place.

The world has been fascinated by spices throughout its recorded history. The Bible tefls of the Queen of Sheba bringing King Solomon gifts of gold, pre­ cious stones and spices around 1 ,000 B.C. Spices were considered such a valuable commodity that when Alaric and his Vis­ igoths held Rome under siege in the 5th century A.D., part of the ransom was 3,000 pounds of pepper. The European demand (or spices had an immeasurable effect on the history of the world. After all , when Columbus discovered America, he was act uall y looking for an easie r spice route to India.
