Claudia has been a good friend from Casper where we first met in Spanish class at Dean Morgan Jr. High School in the ninth grade.  We continued our Spanish studies through high school with Alberto Garcia at Natrona County High School.   From there we went down to Laramie and the University of Wyoming.  Like me, Claudia followed the bright lights to the Pacific Northwest.

We had a chance to catch up during a recent trip to Portland in December of 1998.
