December 1977 (Christmas Card from Dick Peel)
How's the winter! I think of all my friends as I go for a swim. Still busy exploring this area and loving the cultural advantages of the metro area. Going back to Montana for several weeks of skiing and visiting in January. Not sure my thin blood will cope. I miss Helena.
Job goes well -- designing special projects and consultant on present ones.
How's your piano studies progressing? Have heard some of the greats this year.
Got to DC & N.Y. this summer, combining please with business. Been to Calif several times -- love the ocean and have friends with homes right on the cliffs overlooking the water.
In between have spent a lot of time on my silver work and reading near the pool (a necessity to be close by the pool in the summer).
My family is here again for the winter -- about 12 miles from me.
Saw Jim Estelle (former warden at MSP). He's doing great things in Texas.
Many friends have visited or are planning a visit (but only in the winter)? Never enough hours in any day.
Do keep in touch. If you travel t his direction the welcome mat is always out.

December 2, 1976 (Holiday note from Dick)
WeatherSpark: Springfield, Mass. 1976
This move has been great. I'm now sitting at the pol enjoying the sun and water. Not exactly a Christmas season I've become accustomed to, but do like it. Also great to be in a metro area -- trying to make up for 10 years in the wilderness in terms of cultural events. I've purchased season tickets to many things and some weeks I've found myself going to at least three things.
Long range job potentials are good here for me. Had a call from Helena Public asking if I would consider the directorship. Finally said NO.
You sound quite settled. Hope your initial enthusiasm hasn't worn off. Still collecting for your apartment? It sounds fantastic and the rent is unbelievable -- here that might get you a studio.
Do you like the job? Good to hear you are still opposed to the "pack rat" school . Her we have quite a few who are part of that school.
Happy Holidays. Keep in touch.
