Kenda North to Barbara Houghton
11.26-Sat Eve Barbara—We had a great week here... Great people, places, tons of food. Richard Niel got us from the airport Mon. eve, took us downtown for dinner and w/in 15 min. his car was burgled—lost all my luggage and Leica. Moan. BC and Debo served a fab dinner at their "new" cabin—right on the water, w/ a full gale blowing and no electricity. Quite a party. Great place but it hasn't stopped raining. Miss you Love Kenda

12/30 Hey, things are hot in Dallas. Thought of you when we went to the Cowboys vs. Philly game—interesting. Actually it's been cold here, but am I glad we missed the storm. En route Denver tomorrow via Santa Fe Love & Happy New year K.

Ellen Manchester to Barbara Houghton
I got a new puppy! "Sophie" Barbara—was wonderful to see you—even if it was a little crazy! Greg McGregor called me about S.P.E. regional at Asilomar Thanksgiving weekend. I'll go for sure. [Paul] Berger has already planned a N.W. mtg Oct 26-27 in Seattle—so I'm going to try to go to both! GOD I miss you! Love, Ellen
Ellen Manchester and Robert Dawson to Barbara Houghton
July 14 The wedding was fantastic—we all had a great time, no tension, no fights—sunny New England day, wild preacher, lots of beer and swimming. Headin' West now, Corn Palace was CRAZY—you've been here I think. Badlands today, on to Wyoming, Mont., Idaho, Denver around Aug 3, see you then [we'll probably stay with Nancy and Doug]—ready for blast on Aug 6 in Breckenridge. Hope you had a great time at Kenda's [North]. Love, Ellen, Bob and Sophie

Ellen Manchester to Barbara Houghton
Dear Barbara—Seems like years since I've talked to you or seen you. I've been "on the road" since end of October—Oregon, S. F, L. A. and Tempe. Now home in N.H. for month of Dec. Am teaching at S. F. Art Institute Jan 18-May should be fun! Have great place to live on the ocean—you MUST come visit! After that, I don't know what I'll be doing. Wish I could stay in Sun Valley, but don't know if it's smart. Have a wonderful Christmas! Love, Ellen
Linda Connor to Barbara Houghton
Dear Barbara My 5 months are just about over, I'm in Bombay now my last stop in India, then London, the East coast right before Christmas—dropped full blast into the middle of the craziness of X-mas, culture shock here I come. Asia has been amazing, not always pleasant but always fascinating. I've just about shot up all 1,000 sheets of film! I will be locked in the dark all spring processing! Even with all I've seen I still don't feel I understand—or have really experienced Asia, I've just been doing the tourist number only with a bigger box. I will be stopping thru Denver to visit my brother before returning to S. F. probably end of Jan early Feb. I'll give you a ring when I get in. Merry Christmas. Love, Linda
Jim Stone to Barbara Houghton
Dear Miz B—It's a great pleasure to have Xmas roll around once a year so I can find out what's happening to all my friends who get too busy to write. Glad you are well & it sounds like in love. Maybe I'll get to see you in Philly. Stone is mainly writing, trying to get view camera book finished and go back to making pix. I do sneak off into the darkroom on occasion though. All well & happy here. Look forward to seeing you. xxx Stone
Ruth Thorne-Thomsen to Barbara Houghton
May 1st 83 Dearest Barbara, I've been here a week now—and it seems difficult to believe I'm REALLY here! This island is such a magical place & Ray is an easy & fun companion. The contract arrived and I've signed it!! If you hear of any little houses for rent let me know—How are things with you? Miss you—Love, R [return address redacted]
Victor Landweber to Barbara Houghton
Barbara—Hello. What are the official names of the Boulder & Metro galleries—for my resume. Judith [Golden] has signed up for the est training here—for February. I'm real excited that she has chosen to do it. I was voted to the Board of Directors for the L. A. Center for Photographic Studies—A chore or an honor—I don't know, but nonetheless I'm pleased. Be in touch. Victor.
Ruth Thorne-Thomsen to Barbara Houghton
Actually, if you're still game, ideally I could put your work up around the 10th of Oct & have it back to you the 1st week of Nov. Do write: my address is: [address and phone redacted] One pinhole of you is SO fine I'll send it along when I have a good print. Hope to hear from you soon—Love, Ruth
Linda Connor to Barbara Houghton
Dear Barbara I'll be in Denver this Friday thru the 20th. Will you be available to come out and play? Brother Jon's # [redacted]. See you soon. Love, Linda
Kenda North to Barbara Houghton
Dear Babs Thanks for call, been so busy it's always too late for me to get back to you at night. I'm feeling fine, better each day. Final check up this Wed. Mama offered me a free trip to India to meet Debo—Nepal or the Broadmore? Gads. Love you Kenda
Judith Golden to Barbara Houghton
Barbara—Happy New Year! I sent the slides 'n stuff yesterday. Sent 7 from the portrait series (beach hat)—I haven't taken slides lately of my newer vinyl pieces—with stuff added. Actually, maybe I should include a couple. What do you think? I'll be taking slides next week, ya, maybe we should both include some—whatever is best to blow his mind, rite? So why don't you hold those & I'll mail you a few more. Love Jude P.S. What about the 3M pieces? They actually start as [illegible] photos—that aspect is necessary. Sometimes it's hard for me to judge my own work in terms of strength. SIGN the litho you hand color
Judith Golden to Barbara Houghton
Barbara—Think I've finally slowed down enough. It feels good. We went to Ixtapa on Sunday & just stayed—till Wednesday. Very quiet. Love Jude
Judith Golden to Barbara Houghton
Barbara—Good to hear from you. The kids were in Chgo for Xmas—it was very good. ENJOYED the snow and cold emensely (sic). Guess you'll see a lot of it in N.Y. My romance broke up—but all is well. Love Jude
Judith Golden to Barbara Houghton
June 18—Barbara—Started a Cecil B. DeMille super colossal "CONGRATULATIONS" piece—per usual it's going slowly—after all, an extravaganza!!! takes time! So—meanwhile—I'm SO PLEASED w. your job—might as well be me—I feel so happy about women landing jobs!! Sounds SO GOOD! The changes ARE SCARY. Everything leads to something tho. Try—don't push the river—again. Denver is only 1,000 mi. from Davis—for sure—we'll work something out! You'll love the West! It's catching. I'm not going to Chgo—maybe we can meet in Colo?? Love ya—Jude
John Pfahl to Barbara Houghton
Barbara: When will we ever dance together again? Maybe in March at SPE! I plan to spend some time in Colorado after the conference—maybe we can get together a cross-country ski trip. Hope everything is well with you. Love, John
John Pfahl to Barbara Houghton
Dear Barbara—Thanks for your card. I still have my cold, a real pain, but I really didn't mean for you to have car trouble. I get mine, too: shortly after I took a picture window view of Mt. Rushmore my car was side-swiped by a senior citizen tourist—fortunately nothing serious. It was good seeing you at Sun Valley and I hope we'll meet again soon. Warm regards, John
