Spildie Graduation party from UWy in Laramie

The party of the year. Every Cheesehead in Colorado was there, packing Dave’s swank bachelor apartment.

Things started with a barbecue at some godforsakenwindswept baseball field and continued on into the night. A line was crossed into Halloween territory when Dave’s panty drawer was raided. Hey, at least between the florid BVDs and the layers of t-shirts, everyone remained clothed. Still, new lows were reached when the dreaded Spoons Glasses made their appearance.

Jean Wilhelm claims that the clothing theft was a collaboration between her and Kathy Laurie. (It’s amazing that anyone would take responsibility.)

Some pretty rough photos. It is what it is. No one could hold still.

Camping with Terry and Gordon

Terry and Gordon, good friends from Boulder, long gone back to their roots in Youngstown, OH.

These photos were derived from Kodachrome slides taken in the fall on 1991, and scanned in 2014.

This area was either Winter Park, or Redfeather Lakes.

Snowmass, Crested Butte, Teluride

Around Labor Day 1991 we signed up for a big tennis tourney in Snowmass. We’d already played an Aspen tourney a year ago this time of year, we knew it was a great time. Being poor and cheap by nature, we camped in the back of our dinky little Toyota, down by the river. The river in this case was Woody Creek.

After the tourney, we drove back to Carbondale, the headed south across Scofield Pass, then to Kebler Pass, and on in to Crested Butte, camping out of our truck along the way.

At some point, coming or going, we drove by the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, an amazingly deep valley carved by the Gunnison River.

Finally, we spent a very short time in Teluride. The weather turned wet and cold. Cheap or not, we checked into a condo to warm up.
