Tuscon AZ April 21-22

Doug had a great reunion with a friend from his childhood.  Susie Spencer Marsden and Doug were in the same sunday school class when they were 4.  Susie's husband, Bob, wasn't able to make the dinner.  Susie's Mom and Doug's Mom were best friends and worked together in Dayton during WW2.  They went on a double date and eventually married their dates, our fathers.  I've known her longer than any other friend, 60 years!!

While in Tuscon, we went to Old Tuscon, where 100s of westerns were filmed, like Big Valley. John Wayne made 3 films and they were filming there up until 1992.




One of the coolest sites in Tuscon was the Saguaro National Forest.  The iconic cactus can be 200 years old.  A lot of the forest was killed during a freeze in 1937.
