He enjoyed collecting rocks and minerals and exploring old railroad and mining sites. His favorite sites included desert sand dunes where Easter picnics pic-nics were held.

Other popular tapes explain what to do if you can't pay your tax, the credit for the elderly, child care credit and filing status. Among this year's new subjects are advance earned income credit payments, disaster area losses and rollovers from retirement plans. Fifteen tapes are in Spanish, including four specifically specifi-cally for Puerto Rico residents. The refund feature is the more popular use of Tele-Tax. Callers made over 24 million refund inquiries in the first six months of 1993, and about 4.5 million requests for tax tapes.
