This has been an interesting and busy year for the both of us.
We are both healthy and doing fine, other than the normal aging problems.
We only took the trailer out 3 times this year. The first was for a weekend in July at our local rodeo here in Denver. The second was for over a week in Colorado Springs for an RV rally which we organized and led; some rally photos are available further on. Finally we took a 6 week trip to Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Mt. Rushmore and through the middle of our country ending up in Fort Worth for a rodeo before coming home. During the first 2 weeks of that trip we had our good friend, Ron, from Arlington, Virginia with us.
We attended 5 rodeos, 4 board meetings, IGRA University and IGRA Convention this year.
Tom continues his role as Trustee for ASGRA, our rodeo association back east. In this age of electronics and long distance phone services, he has been able to attend all the association meetings via call-in phone networking.
Frank continues his work with his Gay Rodeo History Project, collecting and sorting artifacts from 35 years of Gay Rodeo History and making them available on the web. When not working in front of the computer, Frank spends part of his time playing with and restoring his antique phone collection from the 1970's. A few of the phones that he has restored can be seen in this year's photos.
Frank has also started a YouTube channel, where you can view lots of rodeo events, along with old videos and 8mm movies from his early trips to the Rocky Mountains back in the 1960's and 70's. Here's wishing you Happy Holidays and the best for the coming year.
