As we left Colorado, we visited Brian Sperry for a couple days on his river property. Very beautiful place and a fun time visiting and working with Brian. Then on to Grand Junction where we hiked near the National Monument area with Ron's sister jan and her husband Dan.
We spent 10 days in Blair Nebraska sharing time with Ron's mom, then back to Hastings where we caught another concert, this time the Cathedral Brass, a quintet made up of Dan and Susan Schmidt and 3 other excellent musicians. We really enjoyed the touch of culture in our Midwest visit, compliments of the musical Schmidts!
