Besides the fact that it was Greg’s birthday, today was a very special day for Dylan and Merry. Galen and friends started their annual hike up the peak at around 5:00 am and arrived at the top to witness Dylan propose to Merry at 5:30 pm. Janet held Greg so he could join in on this celebratory event in a group picture.

A huge success…..about $5,000 collected and donated to the Cancer Center of Colorado Springs.
Several local artists donated their work for a silent auction. Galen donated all his hair to the
“Locks of Love” organization along with another woman who donated 16″ of hers. Dr’s. David Headley,
D. Scott Brantley, H. Sue Kim and Timothy J. Murphy spoke on different types and treatments of cancer. The best speaker was Dr. Timothy Murphy who being the “new kid on the block ” decided to speak on beer rather than emphasizing a total lecture on cancer. He did a power point presentation on the different beers of the world and appeared quite versed on the subject. There were three different kinds of beer donated to the event. A funny thing happened with the keg that Antler’s Hilton donated-
the keg was embossed with Kelley Brewing Corp. on the top!

Today was a wonderful celebration with many cousins attending this party, some we haven’t seen in 20 years.
While shopping at the Christmas Tree Shop, Mom found Greg (aka ..Egg ) a friend to hang out with during the party; she knew this bloated blonde would be a wonderful weekend date. Greg’s site was brought up during today’s party. One cousin has had her colonoscopy and one KNOWS she has to “make the appointment.” I was happy to hear that family has taken this issue seriously and know the importance of getting screened; a must with family history!
Greg’s web address has been given out to many new people to spread the word…. Family photo’s of this day are on the family page.
