One Less Seat On The Bus

There will be one less seat on the bus for season 2007. Mike and Brenda had a little girl on Nov, 24. All are well. Mike said he'll send pictures as soon as he clears off the Ragbrai 2004 pictures off his digital camera.

Marty Recognized For His Physical Prowess

Our Marty was recently inducted into the Centerville All Sports Hall of Fame. Selected for his achievements in Cross Country and Track; Marty was also recognized for his talent on the uneven parallel bars. Only few people have seen his acrobatic routine though, and those that have, were all ladies.

Congratulations Marty.

NEW BELGIUM BEER!!!!

The August edition of Money magazine ranks Fort Collins No. 1 among 745 places based on a series of economic screenings including cost of living, employment markets, median income, property taxes and housing prices. Other quality of life factors also helped Fort Collins obtain the number one ranking. Crime rates, congestion, public schools and climate also were considered. From the beauty of Horsetooth Reservoir to the vitality of Old Town, from our prized microbreweries to our friendly citizens, Fort Collins has it all!
