"Here, home- cooking means just that- generous portions of hearty, farm-style food." Keating states the luncheon speçial, servedbetween 11:30 and 3 p.m., is a bargain at $3.95. Beef, vegetables and home-made' soup are available fromn the buffet co0unter and servings are mouintainous, he states.

He's bird-scannod ail the oceans and ail the continents ex- cept Antaretica. He's been to over 125 countries looking for different birds.
