<p class="MsoNormal">What a grand old structure! It was such a pleasure to live there and work with such a dedicated team that had been journeyed well before we arrived. We were there about 1982. I don’t recall that balcony on top of the porch or the railing
along the porch in front of the big front window. Maybe those were added when doing the renovations.

<p class="MsoNormal">One of my favorite memories from that house was time that Lee Suggs won a $1000 shopping spree at a local grocery stores and gave the deal to the Religious House.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The deal was everything in the cart up $1000 would be covered. Of course there was an impossible time limit in which to do the “deal.”
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We spent days planning our strategy. We put one of the youth in charge of speeding the buggy through the aisles with co-workers along the designated aisles throwing things into the basket.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We decided that meat was the major item on the list. And I also remember cans of crab meat that we enjoyed as special treats.
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeremiah’s memory is of going up in Carl Larsen’s “cherry picker” bucket to take a look at something that needed repairing. Carl kept us fixed up. He also remembers all the wonderful toys that Elaine Johnson brought from the Toy Store<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">I moved to the Denver House from 4 years in Brussels in 1988. I moved into the "Epleys old room" which is how we designated rooms back then. It was on the third floor of a beautiful Denver mansion just off
City Park. The third floor had been the ballroom in the house. A day or two after I arrived I was talking with these bright, inquisitive girls, Vida and Michaela Welch (arround 9 and 11 or so). I had been out of the country for 4 years and knew nothing of
current music or videos. They said they had gotten a video of "Jumping Jack Flash" with Whoopi Goldberg (who?) and did I want to watch it with them that night?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
