I was looking at Crystal's response and realized there are many Harrison "dynasties". It would be interesteing to know about them. Ours, the Coffeys, for example numbers six. Me, '72; Angie,'73; Steve,'75, Debbie, '80; Carol, '82, and my son Brandon Watts in 2004. I know the Batts, the Turmans and a few others had quite the list. Other dynasties?

Brad Benson

There were numerous Dynasties from Chamberlin and Stratmoor Hills with kids such and the Calu's Vicki, Keith, Nancy, Steve, Greg. the Skeltons with David, Roger, Doug, Kathy, and my family had a hat-trick with Steve, Jeff, and myself. I recall several Quesenberry's, Hansons, Robertson's, Turpin's, Veteto's etc and all of us were native to the district with non-military parents. Of course there were the Gorman's with Rick and Tracy and their grandfather Norton V Gorman (the Jr High namesake) and owners of the too cool Gormans A&W that sat where a 7-11 and a Denny's reside. I loved skipping out on lunch at the dreary Harrison "chow hall" and having a burger and root beer at the Gormans A&W drive in. Those were the days!

Nora Zolli Graybill

My dynasty is the Zolli family, Jerry, Rick, Butch, Angela, Nora and Cheryl. Jerry is in Korea, Rick lives in Santa Rosa Calif. and the rest of us live here in the springs. Does anyone know how to get a copy of the 1975 yearbook? Thanks Nora

Barbara Davis Eastburn

Alan Chase Class of 1991 has a great idea for a get together - Well, sometimes what I'll do is put my family in the truck early in the morning and head up Cheyenne Canyon and cook/have breakfast at one of the picnic areas. Following that is a hike up Helen Hunt falls to get some more fresh air. It's local, it's free and the kids love throwing rocks in the stream. I'm not sure if anyone would be interested in getting together for that or not. I'm not sure how many people have a GPS these days, but we could always do a geo-caching challenge with prizes (something local to the area within walking distance so no-one has to drive all over the place). Another thought would be to have a nice walk around one of the reservoirs on Pikes Peak. They only charge a few bucks to get up to the actual reservoir (the fee for driving up Pikes Peak is completely different and a lot)

Word on the Web is that the decade classes of 1970-1979 are contemplating a "gathering" in Las Vegas this Summer.  An alternative, which is closer and cooler is Cheyenne Frontier Days.  I am in no way going to preside over this, just offering an option.  I will be in Cheyenne anyway with fellow Alum from Colorado State University-Pueblo July 22-26.  Michael Wilson-1973.

Might suggest two trips one local and one out of state.....  It's up to you, voice your thoughts!!!

The cheapest time to Visit Las Vegas is during its (relatively small) off season. Hotel prices drop as thermometers rise, making the months of July and August ripe for better deals. The same goes for January and February - since Christmas and New Year's are two of the city's biggest draws, there is a tendency for there to be a slight drop off in business after the holidays pass. It is also no coincidence that the cheapest time to visit Las Vegas is concurrent with its poorest climate changes.

For gamblers, the best time to visit Las Vegas is during the Super Bowl, or the opening weekend of March Madness. If you are a sports fan who is even vaguely interested in wagering on football or basketball, these Las Vegas events are hard not to be swept up in. You will see a small increase in price for these occasions, but since the Super Bowl occurs during the tourist offseason and March Madness is just as the prices are starting to ratchet up, there are still values to be had, especially in some of the smaller casinos on or just off the strip. Just because you are staying at Circus Circus instead of Mandalay Bay, the scores on the large screen sportsbook televisions won't change. Every play elicits a huge crowd reaction - it truly can be the best time to go to Las Vegas, no matter how your team does. - http://www.destination360.com/north-america/us/nevada/las-vegas/when-to-go

In reguards to having a Day at the park over Labor Day....It's a great idea however, I don't think the location (west side of Prospect Lake) is. That is still an area that I probably wouldn't want to hang out in without propper attire...(flack vest, armored car ect...) I believe we have several other places with a more relaxed atmosphere and facilities. Cheyenne canyon, the bluffs ect...
