“To the best of my recollection…” submitted by Tom Martin

2012

2012 was held for a second time at the Keystone CO resort.  The Class again stayed in the Keystone plaza condominiums below the ski gondolas.  It was hosted by Joe and Val Yakovak and myself.  We played the River and Ranch Courses at Keystone, The Raven at 3 Peaks in Frisco CO and the Breckenridge Golf Course.  Our meals were at the Keystone Conference Center and a special night when we rented the entire Keystone Mountain House Restaurant.  It was 2 gondola rides to the top of the mountains and spectacular views of the Rockies.

That was also the year when drought conditions in the Rockies were kicking up major forest fires along the front range.  The Keystone area was not in jeopardy, but the return trip to Denver and the airports was eventful for some with necessary delays and detours.

Note that throughout all of these years, including our 19th event at Branson, we consistently have approximately 100 classmates and a total of about 160 people in attendance.  We have never had an off year.
