Rocky Mountain High

When I left Boulder, Colorado in 1989 to go to Stanford, I told myself that I'd go back for a visit every year to get a dose of Rocky Mountain fresh air. I haven't quite made it every year, but this was my second year in a row with Alex and I hope we'll be able to keep up the tradition.

Last year, coincidentally, we were able to attend the annual get-together of a great group of women I used to work with at the Economics Institute. This year we were fortunate to time our visit with a very large EI reunion.

And what would a trip to Colorado be without a drive in Rocky Mountain National Park!

And visits with Elizabeth, Cheri and Martha!
