Meeting Brokies in Person??
Front-Ranger:
I am so happy to hear about your visit with Melinda, Scott! I missed you the last few days and am overjoyed to hear that your absence was for a happy reason! I can't tell you how excited I am to hear that you both might be considering coming to Alberta or Colorado or both! Knowing how you don't like to travel, I am extra impressed!! Would there be some pics of this meeting??? Best wishes,

Hey, FRiend Lee!
Melinda did take a few shots of me, in front of the UT tower and in the back of Threadgill's, as well as snapping a picture of that evocative Thundercloud's mural that was so to her liking. When she has regained the capacity to scan images onto her computer, she may well share some of those here (it could provide some welcome addendum to my tiny, hard-to-see avatar portrait). Neither Cathy nor I, unfortunately, had the foresight to dig out Cathy's digital camera for any of our rendezvous, so we didn't help out any on the picture front.
Like I told Melinda, Colorado and Alberta are definitely things to dream about; dreams do have a way sometimes of turning into reality :D!
Best regards,
Scott

I envy the two of you seeing works by Remington and Russell. Annie Proulx talked about both of them in her talk in Casper Wyoming at the Equality State bookfest. I saw paintings by Remington a couple of years ago at the Denver Art Museum. Altho he is known for his sculpture, I found the paintings fascinating because of his use of light. How I would have loved to hear Melinda's and your reactions to that art!!
Ellemeno:
Scott, I am so glad you and Melinda had a great time together. As she knows, she was one of the highlights of the Castro Adventure for me, and a wonderful hostess. I'm glad she got to have some wonderful hosting from you in return!
What is the significance of Dr. Pepper? I don't drink soda very often, but when I do, I'm a diet Dr. Pepper girl.
So happy for the two of you,
Clarissa

One of the lines that Melinda uttered in a film she was in (from back in 1975) went, "That's Dr. Pepper country down there." This was regarding a character who was on his way down to Waco, Texas--a city that Melinda passed through both coming to and going away from my home town. So the stop in Waco, and the sampling of Dr. Pepper, were poignant moments--thirty-one years in the making!
Hope I'm not giving too many of Melinda's secrets away.
;)
