2004

My wife (Lois Egan, MS Mathematics '69) and I visited Minneapolis for the July 4th activities then on to Bismarck for our first trip to North Dakota. We found interesting historical sites along the Lewis & Clark expedition and fort Abraham Lincoln where General Custer left for his ill-fated mission against theSioux. In August we visited Albuquerque and Santa Fe, NM and saw many signs of  the Franciscan and Jesuit influence in the area. If you enjoy art and sculpture make a point to visit Santa Fe. Following a trip to the picturesque city of Durango, CO we drove to the 4-Corner's Monument (very interesting though a bit remote) and back to Albuquerque. I enjoyed a AAA minor league baseball game in a refurbished stadium. The southwest is interesting to visit, but the countryside is a bit too brown to suit us. - Frank Higbie '69
