Getting Together With Still More Of the Old DU Bookstore Gang

I got together yesterday evening with still more of the old University of Denver Bookstore gang. Chris, the former Accounts Payable Assistant and her husband Jim hosted us all at their home just south of DU, and Chris provided us with a very wonderful meal. We discussed a variety of topics, including Donald Trump, coyotes and bald eagles in the area threatening neighborhood dogs and cats, and even preplanning your cremation and preparing wills. When the conversation turned to possible family disputes over money, it was suggested it might be best not to leave any money to argue over, and I recommended taking multiple Viking River Cruises, which turned the conversation to travel talk, a much happier topic. In the photograph above, starting on the left, are my sister Susan, an honorary retired DU Bookstore employee; Darrel, the former Accounts Payable Manager of the bookstore, who with his wife Linda will be traveling to Tucson, Arizona this spring and Germany in the fall; Jake, whose late wife Valarie was the Operations Manager of the store, who will soon be traveling to LA; Linda, Darrel's wife; and Jim and Chris, our hosts, who are spending a lot of time these days helping out Chris' father, who just celebrated his 93rd birthday, down in Pueblo, Colorado. Great seeing you all again, guys!
