Congratulations to my brother Bret, and his girlfriend, Jaimy (Isn't she pretty? Way to go, Bret!) - they were both accepted to University of Denver's graduate tax law program!
After 3 years of law school at George Mason in the DC area, they're leaning away from litigating and towards estate or tax law. The program at Denver is a masters degree in tax law. I don't know just how hard it is to get in, but I know its very competitive & I obviously couldn't have done it!
So, congratulations, Bret & Jaimy! They haven't made a final decision - moving across the country is a big deal, and there are still lots of details to work out. Nevertheless, we hear Denver is a great city, and we'd love to come visit!
My brother and I spent countless hours sharing the (very small) backseat of a 1989 Acura Legend, singing along to John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High." He was hands-down our favorite cassette tape. I think my brother even dressed up like him for Halloween? White blond hair, little round glasses - the works. Anyway, it would be a nice full circle if my brother moved to John Denver's homeland - the soundtrack of our childhood.
Besides, I'm sure Elsa would make herself right at home in the snowy mountains...

Cool...Colorado...literally! Colorado is so beautiful that I'm sure if they decide to go they will love it.
PS - as you know, my brother and I had an almost identical experience with the John Denver tapes on road trips. We were just in a 1990 Nissan Maxima instead of an Acura. Oh, and don't forget the Starlight Express sound track!
Congratulations! What an honor!
I too, loved John Denver, still do, but my experience with him was with my boyfriend driving to and from college....I sang as he played his harmonica!
Don't know why I felt compelled to share that piece of history......
love you forever!
