David Pugsley gave us your address this summer & I meant to drop you a line -- but true to fashion -- I've procrastinated.
You must have had a bit of trauma before you left Montana. Trish Tavenner called me a few months after we left Helena and said that she figured we had offered you asylum becuase she knew I was planning to send you our address to offer our guest room if you were snowbound on one of your Helena trips.
Your stay in Montana must have given you plenty of material for short stories if nothing else.
We are really enjoying Helena. I guess the percentage of people who pursue literature & theater is nigh because of the big government payroll. A new bookstore called Another Roadside Attraction opened two months ago. A movie theater showing only old & classical films opened last spring. After some of the movie the audience becomes a discussion group -- were presented with a lecture after Citizen Kane. And a new repertory-type theater has just remodeled the old library which had once been a Unitarian Church in 1990 & has marvelous acoustics -- leaded glass -- much stonework. The buildings here just blow my mind.
I have a great job -- 9 educable kids ages ages 10 to 14 -- good administrative support!
Skip enjoys his job so much -- does not like all of the travel -- but hopefully he will work into a desk job as time goes by.
As you can see, we have a new addition. His name is Ryan Hawks -- he is northern Cheyenne and we have had him for 6 months. We hope to legalize things next month.
Kerry has adjusted to Ryan's presence although he went through the usual jealous stage and once said "Let's give him back to the ladies." Now he thinks it's great to be a "big brother" as long as Ryan leaves Kerry's books alone.
It is such a delight to have both of them living with us -- we've certainly been lucky.
Peace, Sandy
