J Paul and Judy
Heard more from J. Paul Munson this morning, regarding teaching, tractors and biking. Paul says he'd like to head up a biking activity during the reunion. As an avid biker myself, I may join him and his wife.
Judy Turnbull Collett also wrote from Virginia, so I can take her off the "missing students" list.
On another note, you may be interested to note that last week's announcement of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction had a Sandpoint twist. Pulitzer Prize winner, Marilynne (Sommers) Robinson, author of Gilead and her earlier novel Housekeeping, grew up in Sandpoint. She's four years older than we are, and she eventually graduated from Coeur d'Alene.
Her family and the Ross Halls were good friends, so when the movie version of Housekeeping premiered at the Panida Theater back in the 1980s, Dann Hall presented her with a bouquet of flowers.
Guess that's all for now. Hope everyone has a good week.
