May 2003 Napa Valley at Gary's house (second visit)

We met at the home of Gary Erickson (Loie's friend) in Anguin near Napa Valley, California.

We had been planning to meet at Gary's home in North Lake Tahoe, but we got snowed out.

As a result, we ended up back at his home near Napa Valley.

Loie was working on the book with Gary, which was published as Raising the Bar.

Barbra's car accident and brain injury had just occurred on April 28, 2003, so she couldn't be with us.

Anne missing?

2002 ???

Where were we?  What did we do?

2001 ?

Where were we?  What did we do?

Karen's house?  Then Glen Ivy?  (not all of us)  Or was that 2000?

2000 Napa Valley at Gary's House (first visit)

We stayed at Gary Erickson's house near Anguin in Napa Valley.

Much reconciliation after the big problem.  Hot time in the old town tonight.  All present.

Jason came and picked up Barbra (he had just met Allie--they got married in 2004).

Sharon moved to Sacramento in fall 2000.

April 1999 San Pedro and Glen Ivy

The group gathered at Joanne's new house in San Pedro--she had moved into it in 1998.

We then went to Glen Ivy.

Missing were Sharon and Anne.  It was a sad year.  Continuing discussion of the problem.

Question: "Could this be the end?"

Jeanne proposed inviting Louise to join the SW7.

1998 No gathering of SW7

Back history:

Dick left in 1996.  We did not meet in 1996.

Intervention occurred in September 1997...? 

10th anniversary of SW7 trip to Santa Fe was 1997, so a second trip to Santa Fe was done in April 1997.   Anne did not go-- Marie was born in May 1997.

Sharon sold her Palos Verdes house in 1997.

Sharon talked to Terry Sandbek on the phone in January, 1998.  She saw him in Portland in April.

Jeanne broke up with Lisa in 1998.  Difficult year.

In summer 1998 Barbra was visiting California to see her friend Joy, living in a cabin in Muir Woods (Mt. Tamalpais Canyon).    Sharon brought Terry to meet Barbra and Loie, who joined them.  

No gathering of full Southwest 7 in 1998. 

1997 Santa Fe

This was a ten-year anniversary of our weekend gatherings.

Karen, Loie, Jeanne, Barbra, and Joanne attended.

Sharon and Anne did not go.  It was after the intervention in September. 

It snowed--there was a light dusting.
