My Aunt Pearl was someone I always admired. She had such a spark for life! I will always credit her for teaching me many excellent values. She taught me to be strong and independent. I also think I inherited my flair for journalism and photography partially from her! For many years, Aunt Pearl and I carried out a tradition of spending Thanksgiving together at her home. Our annual holiday gathering took place in many different locations over the years – including Rawlins and Encampment, Wyo., Steamboat Springs, CO and Albuquerque, NM.
