Kathy and our TA Thereasa under the awning at the Chili Cookoff grounds. It was blazing hot that year! 115 degrees -- in the shade!


The profs at White Sands National Monument, NM.


Gary, Trent, Mike and Adam -- winners of the Bear Mountain marathon.


Watermelon seed spitting -- a new Olympic sport?


Barker attempts a new world record.


Trent enjoys the view from Knight's Peak. A couple of weeks later Trent would be the first one across the Grand Canyon when we hiked rim-to-rim in a day -- a 23-mile walk!


Yep -- Ronnie's a Texan (here at a cinder cone volcano outside of St. George, Utah).
