When we lived near Vail, Colorado in the early 80’s, Bud, Mary Ann and Andy and Margaret Kaul would travel to Vail to ski. Each time they came, they got in touch with us, took ski lessons from Gerry, and treated us to dinner. We have fond memories of their visits. Mary Ann was a pleasure to be with – very kind, interesting, and all class.
Our sincere sympathy,
Gerry and Sue Riddle
