Sunday Brunch before leaving Phoenix

While I spent Saturday during the day with Pat and Dick, Louise had a good visit with her family. Then Sunday we met for a meal and visit before leaving Phoenix. Louise and her son, Darold, and his wife, Cheryle, and their three boys, Nikota, Daron, and Kayo, and I all met at Mimi's for a good meal and a wonderful visit. It's the first time I've seen Darold and Cheryle and their first son, Nikota (just a baby then) since they helped me move from Many Farms, AZ, in 1997. Darold drove a U-Haul truck to Albuquerque where Peg and Denis met us to drive the truck the rest of the way to North Carolina. Before that memorable adventure I had not seen much of Darold since he worked with me at Dine College (then Navajo Community College) from 1990 to 1994. A new NCC graduate at that time, he was a wonderful addition to our staff and a good friend. Since then he and Cheryle both have completed lots more of their own education and both have interesting, responsible jobs, and three great kids! What a pleasure it was to get reconnected.
