On Sat, Dec 8 thirteen first U’s met in Corrales to walk along the tree-lined acequia on a beautiful, warm, sunny day – maybe the last mild day of the winter. The group took a side trip to the old San Ysidro Church and cemetery and a few peeked into the Gathering Artists Gallery. We walked for about 2 hours and then 8 enjoyed conversation and lunch at Hannah and Nate’s Cafe.
The participants were Scott Lake, Rick Held, Liz Davisdon, Pam Bliss, Alice Demi, Kathleen Rhoad, Heather Gram, Bob Haladay, Eliza Schmid, Joanne Ledger, Barbara Leonard, Neal MacDonald and Norma Ruptier.
