Ellen Manchester to Barbara and Jim Houghton
Sorry to miss you this week. I'm going to come to Denver/Breckenridge Sat. Dec. 22 and hopefully stay through New Year's—will you be back by then? I'm stranded at O'Hare—so what else is new? Didn't get to do much in Boston—family dilemas (sic), etc., did see JoAnn [Verburg] for one eve—she is great—was off to meet [Andre] Kertesz in the Big Apple. Love to Kenda is she's still there, Ellen
Andrea Jennison to Barbara Houghton
Dear Barbara, 6/2 I always forget when I see you to ask you if we can borrow your 4x5 (MSC) and P/N [?] back for Evon's [Streetman?] workshop. I am trying to round up as many 4x5's as possible now. Let me know. XOXO, Andrea Believe me it hasn't looked so colorful here—rain, snow, cold...
Mark Johnstone to Bonnie Lambert
B: Saw goood ol' Sandy Hume Friday, and he was curious how you're doing, so I passed the word (ah, the question is which word was it)? Best, Mark
Jerry Burchfield to Mark Johnstone
Mark, Glad to hear that you found the film, the motel sounds fine as does everything. We arrive in Denver on 5th 3:30 pm spending the nite at Radisson Denver Hotel on Grant St. If we could get a ride to CS [Colorado Springs] on the 6th—Sunday—that would be great—I'll call but if can't reach you on the weekend—call us at hotel [redacted] to arrange time—Jerry
Barbara Houghton to Paula Crane and Ted Thomas
Paula & Ted—Couldn't find you before I left for B'Ridge. God talk about a busy crazy week. Had too much to pull together & too many people to deal w/. The one I wanted to deal w/ left early too. Mary's up here w/me and so far she's no trouble & will earn her keep typing for Andrea [Jennison] and Kenda [North] tomorrow. I'm running some film now. My class starts in a 1/2 hour. Horrors. They develop color film today—and hopefully make contact prints & learn how to make a print. I'm in class now & it's under control. Leaving for Chicago Tues—home Monday noon. Love B.
Heidi Cost to Mark Johnstone
Dec 4, 1908 Mark—Had b-fast w/ Ben [Benschneider] this morn. He's looking healthy and happy. We already have two people accepted to the summer inst! (Remember John Catto?) Anyways, I'm doing better than usual ('tis the season to be jolly, after all). FINALLY got rid of the pups (motherhood agh!!) and have been traveling a little—Chicago and Santa Fe. Will be home for x-mas, then playing decadent in Aspen. Just gotta have a fur coat and boots for the apres-ski scene! Enjoy the holiday. Take care, Heidi (Biff's arriving in LA soon.) P.S. I haven't mellowed out—alas....

Marshall Mayer to Mark Johnstone
Dear Mark, Found this in Cooke City, Montana at 10,000 feet where we stayed in a cabin run by the aunt of James Watt (Interior Sec'y). This has been a great trip and it's only a week old. We're not going to be able to stop in C. Spgs. cause we'll be in Boulder, Breckenridge, & Ouray. Too much driving—will tip the Honda over 100,000 before we get home—if it lasts. Marshall
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
Kenda North to Andrea Jennison
Jan 25 Andrea—Linda Simpson (at Keystone) felt sorry that you & Tom [Breeden] never arranged a "trade" for the lecture—dinner, lift ticket, etc. Why don't you take her up on it when you come for the workshop?? Let her know (or me) so she can arrange something. She enjoyed the presentation... Thanks, Kenda
Tom Black to Kenda North
Kenda, Greetings from the space-time continuum! Luck would have it that I got an assistantship at Sun Valley. Peter de Lory, Marsha & Mike Burns, [Alex] Streetman to name a few. Their [sic] taking good care of me here so it looks good to be a great summer. Hope yours is a hot one too. Love, Tom
Ellen Manchester to Barbara Houghton
Bob says hi Barbara—I'm arriving VAIL Friday 16th for reunion with CMC friends and a wedding! See you in Breckenridge on Saturday? HELP—I'm not ready for this workshop but imagine I'd fake it O.K. Making tons of slides this summer, getting lots done. CAN'T WAIT to see you and spend some time with you at the pool! Love Ellen
Jerry Burchfield to Mark Johnstone and Ben Benschneider
Ben and Mark, Thanks once again for having us out. As usual it was a complete pleasure. Sorry we were unable to make it to the Sand Dunes, as it turned out we couldn't have gone anyway—I had to do my final crit on Friday night and we didn't get to leave till Saturday morning. Next time we get out your way, we will plan on staying longer so we can have some time to do a few more things. Thanks again & enjoy the summer—Jerry & Barb
Kenda North to Mark Johnstone
7/22 It's been fantastic to be back in Chicago—despite the heat & humidity it's a great city. Taking care of Papa has been much easier than the time thinking about it all... Nonetheless a true education about reality of being old. Fortunately Debo [Deborah] & I are here together. I've been printing—making some progress. Will fly to Denver Aug. 4th—to B. [Barbara] Houghton's. Hope to see you—if not, later! Thanks for a great time at C.C. [Colorado College] Love K.
