It was a 1950s style evening last night hosted by Linda and Darrel (the former Accounts Payable Manager of the DU Bookstore) at their home in East Denver. In the photograph above from left to right are Valarie (former Operations Manager of the DU Bookstore), Jim and Chris (also a former DU Bookstore employee), and Linda and Darrel. It was a 1950s style evening on many levels. Darrel and Linda's ranch house was built in 1953 (the year I was born), we was celebrating Jim's birthday (he was born in 1954), and Darrel regaled us with tales of some of his beatnik acquaintances up in Boulder. Not only that, I was served beer in a Blatz beer mug (with Fat Tire beer in it, thank goodness), and topics of conversation included the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis. It was also the anniversary of the first Corvette, built in 1953. It was all great fun, but I think our next get-together should definitely move up to the 1960s. Start looking for those tie-dyes, everybody.
