February is Black History Month

On Wednesday we'll hear from Bob's good friend, and mine, Denny Dressman. Denny is a former VP with the Rocky Mountain News. Earlier in his career he was a sports editor, and he is deeply knowledgeable about sports, most especially Rockies baseball. But he'll be talking with us about  legendary Grambling football coach Eddie Robinson, who was the Martin Luther King of football. Denny has written a book about Robinson, and in the process he learned a great deal about the Jim Crow Era in American history. It was fascinating research. Wait 'til you hear. . . . 

Following this meeting, we will have a board meeting from 1:45 to 2:30. 

Yesterday (Saturday) was Inter-Faith Community Service's benefit Nibbles & Sips at the DTC Hyatt. It was a fabulous party with lots of vendors offering samples of wines, beers and the stronger stuff, along with yummy appetizers. Bob and I enjoyed the company of Vee Sabel, Don and Lori Loyd and our friends the Dressmans at our table. Frank and Sherry Sargent and their family and friends were at several other tables. The great news is that this was a very, very successful fund-raiser. The live auction alone brought in $22,000. And it couldn't come at a better time, because Inter-Faith is the safety net for so many people who have lost their jobs or otherwise hit hard times.
