Introduction
My cousin Ann Best, her daughter Jessica, and I traveled to the Winter Park ski resort (about 70 miles west of Denver) on Saturday, February 25, 2006, to join up with Ann's brother Gary and his wife Pam and their children Erica (age 7) and Michael (age 4). Pam directs the Denver Broncos Charities which was sponsoring an annual weekend-long ski competition featuring disabled people and Broncos alumni. We all managed to get some skiing in, then gathered at Pam and Gary's hotel room with their friends Jody and Trina, and their sons Zach and Noah, for dinner. Later, Ann and Jessica and I returned to Denver, where I had a chance to visit with Joe and Aunt Helga.
About Denver Broncos Charities (from the website): DBC has enabled the Broncos to extend its support to numerous community organizations in Colorado. Broncos Charities support many qualified non-profit organizations that work to impact the quality of life for youth, and the hungry and homeless. DBC's emphasis is on programs designed to assist young people in the areas of education and youth football with a particular emphasis on programs aimed at disadvantaged and at-risk youth. The Fund will also consider programs devoted to health and hunger issues.
