Wed Ellen—On the way into Yellowstone my car started fucking up. The alternator messed up—so I stayed the night, blew off site seeing & headed on home. I stopped to ask a mechanic at a gas station what the problem was, and he said I could make it easy. Well I'm in Ft. Collins in a gas station & these really nice guys (tow trucker & the mechanic) were are trying to get me going. No dice. I'm now in a DELUXE suite at Holiday Inn F. C. got it cheap. Only room around & it's in a wing that's not finished. I've had my swim & a beer & in the morning I'll deal w/ my dead car. Good thing I've a sense of humor. Saw NO grizzlys [sic] but did see a moose. xo Barbara P.S. Thanks for such a good time.

Mark & Ellen—I'm at the Western Art Assoc. Museum conference, staying at La Fonda, with Kirk (my new bay associate). It's great, we both hustle the men and see who wins!

10.9.79 Dear Ellen, It was good to hear from you. Your trip to Yellowstone sounded wonderful. I still love that place, even though I've been there 6 or 7 times. We haven't decided about SPE at Asilomar. We heard some of the agenda & it sounds deadly! Will keep you posted. Will you come to LA? I hope so. I didn't get an NEA. I must be the only one—they gave 98 grants. xo Bonnie xo

2/19 Dear EM—thanks for the fat [heart] letter. Your stationery is great! Cal Sparks is at DU & Barbara Houghton is at Metro. The new visiting artist is Ann Shapiro—a painter from San Francisco; she is wonderful! Her paintings are emotional, colorful, jewels! More soon XO B.

Saw Gig Barendse & Diane couple days ago (& everyone else in the Southwest except busy Harold)—got to talk & sold some prints—pleasant. Now somewhere in Georgia at an expensive truck stop, heading toward NYC via DC, hustling at the Corcoran. South's been overcast & cool enuf for 6 days, —had heat aplenty in Ariz, NM—lookin forward to home—too many hi's goodbize—forget who, where, how I feel—need to stop. I'll be home by Oct 3 or 4, so write, let me know how you are, how you feel abt yr new job—Good luck—Love, Dave

Dear Ellen—As you no doubt know, the phones are out in Estes, which is why I didn't call—anyway, to get here, get to Estes Park, go to the main intersection, turn L onto 66, follow it a couple of mi to a fork : 66 to Rocky Mtn Nat Pk. goes R, "spur 66" to YMCA camp goes L. Go L and abt 1/2 mi past YMCA camp on the L is a sign on a fence, "WILLIAMS" (small)—4 cabins, mine's the highest on the hill—so cmon—see you, Dave

10/9/79 Chicago 5:30 a.m. Ellen—first thing—I need my mail would you please collect it and send it on. Thanks Honey! Is the sonar coming my way soon? Working hard and for the moment playing a little too hard. I like Chicago, always something to do. I have a list a mile long, whenever I get the time. Alex [Sweetman] is well, Barbra [ Jo Revelle] is a balloon now. Jim Henkel & I pal around a lot. His work is fantastic. Mark [Klett] should see some. Andy's [Ostheimer] coming out for Thanksgiving, meanwhile I'm keeping myself happy. Best of [to] all, Mark, Dave [Wharton], Jim R. [Romberg] Andy K. [Kent] Love Peter de

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
Dave Freund to Andrea Jennison and Tom Breeden
Howdy—Terry [?] sez you're giving him a show—real good idea. He just gave me some Lake Superior salt water taffy. It was awful. God rest ye merry Dave
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.
Bonnie Lambert to Andrea Jennison and Tom Breeden
11.4.79 Dear Andrea and Tom, Any plans to attend SPE at Asilomar? We haven't decided yet, but probably will. It sort of depends if my relatives in that area are having a Thanksgiving family reunion, & if we go to Mont. for Xmas. Are you busy again? We are: taking classes, doing art, making a few new friends. Write xo Bonnie
Greg MacGregor to Andrea Jennison
Dear Andrea, Just a note of hello and to say how much Wanda [Hammerbeck] and I enjoyed the time we shared while you were in S.F. I hope we can make it to Breckenridge this summer as it seems like a nice place to be. Until then, or N.M. [?] S.P.E. Best wishes Greg MacGregor
