When did you first join the ski club? I don't recall but it was over 30 years ago
Favorite ski resort? At present my favorite ski resorts are Aspen and Park City Utah. As you can see Maroon Bells is in the background. It’s my family's annual ski trip…..so great memories.

What’s the best trip you ever had?
Traveling to Africa to climb Kilimanjaro and enjoying a Safari afterwards for my 60th birthday. It was a blend of physical challenge and then enjoying God’s creatures roaming their territory.

What was your favorite concert you attended?
I can't narrow down my favorite concert but my favorite venue is Red Rocks, Colorado

What are your other favorite sports to participate in?
My new love is Pickleball so let’s have an outing on the courts?

What crazy activities do you dream of trying someday?
The craziest activity I did was skydiving, and I quit after my 13th jump for good reason!

What movie can you rewatch over and over again?
McClintock with John Wayne is my all time favorite……for that matter ANY Duke movie is! My family were in Steamboat skiing and the movie The Hunt for Red October was showing at the local theatre. We came out of the theatre and I saw the back of a suede fringe jacket with a head full of curls. I knew instantly it was Patrick Wayne! I just had to tackle him and do a Fan Gushing on Him, his big grin was priceless!

What is your favorite job you’ve ever had?
I owned a Play It Again Sports…….man I loved that store, a 30 year run which , but it did pull me away from the NSC over 30 years ago
