the Irma Hotel. Named after and in honor of his only surviving daughter, bar as shipped from England as a gift from Queen Victoria. We stayed here one night, heading south soon. What a fun trip.
Love to all,
UR, Dad.
ps: and how is Kristin these days?
Hope all the links get forwarded..Go Judy!
Judy has been nominated as a "Health Care Hero" by the Wichita Business Journal. She wasn't aware of it until somebody mentioned it to her at a party and at church a few weeks ago. I'm sure she didn't mention it last week when she was in Emporia. There is a dinner on Tuesday night, September 1 at the Hyatt Regency downtown honoring all of the nominees.
Click on the links for a nice picture of Judy and more info. I will probably buy a table and would love to have family from Emporia come down to help honor Judy.
Health Care Heroes honors companies, individuals, and organizations for their contributions to improving health care in the Wichita and surrounding area.

Friday night, Cody Wyo.
Wouldn't look for this outfit in Vegas any time soon, but we're having fun and so is the beer drinking harmonica player.
Saw a mommy moose and a little mooselet crossing the river, about 100 yds up stream. Really cool.
Made it to the ranch, Leg # who knows.
Good day today, horses tomorrow.
Caught some fish, couple of big ones.
One last pic this am: there she goes. I remember the daughters posing there, all dirty and grimy, after a week of back packing out in the wilderness of Yellowstone w all the encounters that implies. But they were all just brimming w a new self confidence, self awareness and appreciation, though maybe they didn't realize it at the time..worth every step.
Sought this out, can't describe the emotion looking at this sign, short hike down the trail.
After an inglorious start yesterday, culminating in Droughtbuster being left on the tarmac in Rifle due to line of thunderstorms even at about dawn, we just Drove. 9 hrs. But!
It is so beautiful here:
Tried to seen a couple of pics, they bounced, so likely one at a time. Just delete if tedious, won't be too many..
First. Welcoming committee, Tetons.
OK, on to Leg #4, left WP via Grand Lake, to Glenwood Springs for dinner a good friends from Snowmass, then on to Rifle to fetch Droughtbuster (wholly living up to the name this fast) and on to Cody tomorrow.
A shot or two from Grand Lake. It's been Years since I've seen Grand Lake and Lake Granby so full of water. Amazing, and good to see.
All gassed up, first leg, destination Rifle CO, en route Winter Park, then eventually the Yellowstone County!
For the record, here is a photo of the Great gooseberry pie I made yesterday for a dinner party! Deelish! Good thing I gave my friends the pie First, then the raw berries to sample, or they wouldn't even have tried it..but it truly was quite delicious. Thank you Aunt Ruth and Aunt Augusta!
Love,
Dad/UR
