Back In Denver And Getting Together With The DU Bookstore Gang (Retired)


I got together with some of the old University of Denver Bookstore gang yesterday evening up in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. We gathered in the backyard of our friend Jake, who hosted a Peruvian feast cooked by Moses and Philippa, his Peruvian houseguests. It was fun getting together with everyone once again and hearing what they have been up to lately. The dinner was excellent, and Jake's backyard a really nice place to gather. In the photograph above, from left to right, are Jim and his wife Chris, who is the former Accounts Payable Assistant at the DU Bookstore, and who are spending a lot of time in Pueblo, helping out Chris' father; Linda and her husband Darrel, the former DU Bookstore Accounts Payable Manager, who are planning an RV road trip to Idaho and Oregon; Philippa (I hope I have her name correct, who cooked the dinner with her husband Moses; Jake, our host, who was married to Valarie, the DU Bookstore's Operation Manager, who passed away in 2022, and who is spending a lot of time at his cabin in the mountains near Walsenburg; and Moses, a language expert who teaches English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and who cooked the meal along with his wife Philippa and who are visiting from Peru. As for me, my sister Susan and I just spent three full days on the road driving from Stuart, Florida to Denver. A long drive, but fun! In conclusion, it was a very pleasant evening for all. Thanks for hosting, Jake!
