Thanks for the invitation. I admire you and Janet for faithfully doing this. I won’t be able to attend. At my stage of life finances are pretty tight and the cost of getting there and then the events is not within my budget. I see not many have signed up and wonder how many of our peers are in the same situation.

I have been doing some art work. I have a store on Etsy marketing my jewelry and a store on Fine Art America. I still do 2-D concentrating on pastels. I’ve never outgrown my love of animals and horses especially. We live in draft horse country and I’ve had fun painting them from the perspective a little kid. I am amazed how they move around those huge animals. Most of the horses are gentle giants and the kids have grown up with them and are very comfortable with them. Recently I have done several Sacred Art pieces. Some are very rich and deep in meaning and I really like them. It’s exciting and rewarding doing them.

Another factor in not coming out is absence of family to visit and stay with. Aside from a cousin in Woodland Park I’m the last of my family, having lost my younger brother last September. I appreciated the list of deceased class members. I sat down with an annual last evening and went through it. I was particularly struck by the deaths of several people, Fred Graham among them. I would like to see you and am sorry I can’t come.

I hope you are well and enjoying your senior years.

Affectionately, Pat Arnold Oldham

Hi Skip....Just wanted to reply to your latest email.  I won't be able to be

at the reunion.  We have a cousins reunion going on the same week.  Yikes. not many

replies, but I guess as we get older it isn't always easy to travel a long distance if that is the case.

So sorry to see that so many of our classmates have passed away.  Luckily, my husband and I are in good health and are still able to travel when we want.  We just move a bit slower!!  We have five grandchildren who are close by so that makes us very happy.  It's fun to watch them growing up.

Enjoy the reunion and regards to everyone who shows up!!

I will not be able to attend the reunion, mainly because I am still working full-time in my Iowa law practice.  

Also, we moved back to Colorado Springs for my junior year; so I only had two years to get to know some of the Class of 62.

I salute you, Jan and Dennis for your work in putting this event together.
