Yesterday (August 31) I spent quite a bit of time in the field,
primarily in the Weaver's Bend area of Cocke County early in the day and
at Rankin Bottoms and nearby areas in the evening. The Rankin trip was

(and one guest) from Greeneville included Jeanne Driese, Jim Holt, Ron
Lapp, Rose Lapp, Alice Loftin, Eleanor Mosca, and Linda Northrop. James
