| Grand party at Andy Ellwein's |
| Tour of Bandelier Park |
| Climbing through Indian ruins and cliff dwellings |
| A Santa Fe walking tour |
| A trip to Taos and Los Alamos |
| A party at Marion Phelp's home |
The new standard for mini-reunions has been set. Marion and Andy
really pulled out all the stops to make this mini absolutely fantastic.
Every event well planned and well executed.
As we have learned from other minis, put any group of our classmates
together for a while and they will have a great time. It is a marvelous way to
get reconnected. Some made an appearance for the first time in years --
like Andy Ellwein and Don Plank, and Marlys Weigman Thoms. They will be
attending future class events.
Andy allowed as he was "very apprehensive" about meeting people
he hadn't seen in 41 years. He loved it; the apprehension vanished the
moment he and Pearson went fishing.
Below are some pictures we took -- apologies to those not pictured -- send
me some prints.
