Getting Together Again With Some Of The Old DU Bookstore Gang


I got together with some of the old University of Denver Bookstore gang and their spouses yesterday evening for a dinner of chili and tacos. Everyone is keeping very busy these days. Darrel (the former DU Bookstore Accounts Payable Manager) and his wife Linda, seen in the photograph on the left, just returned from a road trip to Iowa to visit family, and are planning a trip to Europe. Chris, the former Accounts Payable Assistant at the bookstore, and her husband Jim, seen on the right in the photo, have been spending a lot of time going back and forth to Florence, Colorado, helping Chris' father out after an operation. Jake, seen in the background on the right, was the husband of Valarie, the former Operations Manager of the DU Bookstore, who sadly passed away last year, and he has just returned from a visit to Washington State to learn the art of making Tiffany lamps from the acknowledged expert in the field. Jake intends to create his own Tiffany lamps back here in Denver. And at the end of the table is my sister Susan, who along with me just returned from a road trip to Columbia, Missouri, Asheville, North Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, Savannah, Georgia, and Stuart, Florida, where we visited our tenants and let them know we are planning to take back our condo there after renewing their lease for one more year. Great to see everybody again!
