I got together with some of the old University of Denver Bookstore gang and their spouses last night in the clubroom of my condo building, just across the street from the University of Denver. All but two of us are now retired. As for the DU Bookstore, the university outsourced it to Follett Higher Education Group (aka The Evil Empire) in 2012. In the photograph above, from left to right, are Wally, one of the former Operations Managers for the store; Renee, wife of Bill; Bill, the former Operations Coordinator; Linda, wife of Wally; Jake, husband of Valarie; Valarie, also one of the former Operations Managers; Chris, the former Accounts Payable Assistant, and Jim, Chris' husband. Only Renee and Jim are still working. The rest of us are living the good life here in Denver. Bill and Renee are planning a trip to Switzerland, and Linda will soon be heading to Cape Cod, and then off to Lake Tahoe for a class reunion. I myself have them all beat - I get to spend two days a week up in Fort Collins, which a number of people who have lived abroad have told me is the best possible place to be. So there. Great to see you all again, guys!
