    But most of the water going into these recharging ponds comes from the Colorado River.

    I am looking for information about a very old friend named Mike Ellis of Miraleste in Palm Springs who had a very good friend named Steve Morris of Palm Speings and also a friend named Steve Nichols also of Palm Springs. I knew Mike from camp Ta-ha-do-wa days in the early 60's. And I never understood what happened to him and what his last years were like after we lost touch. If you are this Steve Morris I would appreciate hearing from you. If not, please excuse this intrusion. Thank you, George Hopkins 1504 Morada Plzce Altadena 91001 626-396-1314 (home) 626-494-1004 (cell)
