Day 536
Day 536 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fern Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Dot Ferris lost Dr. Cornelius Pratt after a long life together. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Surprise for Truman Beaumont takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
