[Oe List ...] Colleen Birch Smith

[Doris Hahn]

Thanks so much, Clare for helping to keep us aware of our lives and our
life together. Though I never knew Colleen well, I do remember that she
worked hard with you Denver folks on the 2000 reunion in Vale. We are still
grateful for that event.
Grace and Peace, Doris Hahn
