My sincerest appreciation goes out to all the people in the Valley who have been so generous in their well wishes for my move to Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have felt overwhelmed by their response to my leaving. It is of great comfort to learn that one’s presence will be so missed.

There is a “time” in life for certain actions to be taken, and now seems to be the time for me to make this move. It is not an easy one.

To each and every one who has enriched my live, my heartfelt thanks. I shall miss you, too, but I have many wonderful memories to cherish of my life in the Snoqualmie Valley these past 64 years under the majestic presence of Mount Si.
