I got together for a dinner with some of the old DU Bookstore Accounting Office gang and their spouses yesterday evening, hosted by Darrel, the former Accounts Payable Manager, and his wife Linda, seen in the photograph above on the right. Darrel and Linda recently returned from a trip to Paris and Normandy, including stops in Honfleur, where many of the impressionists painted, and Mont-Saint-Michel, which is celebrating its 1000th anniversary this year. Jim and Chris, the former Accounts Payable Assistant, and seen sitting to the left of Darrel and Linda, have spent the last few months helping Chris's father sell his house down in Florence, Colorado and move in with them up in Denver. I know all about getting a house ready to sell after helping my sister Susan, seen in the photo on the left and an honorary guest, get her place ready to put on the market. All of us are retired these days, including, of course me, who was the Finance Manager for the store, and found myself "retired" after the university outsourced the bookstore to Follett Higher Education Group, bless their hearts. And Yes! That's my reflection in the mirror on the wall, taking the photo. In any case, it was a very pleasant evening. Great to see all of you again!
