MIKE KIMMEL MEMORIAL, OVERLOOKING RIO GRANDE, OCT. 16, 2010

 File — Box: 183, Folder: 3

Scope and Contents

This album has 26 color photos and 2 B&W pictures relating to our service for Mike at the Chawaluna Overlook above Big Arsenic, where we scattered his ashes into the gorge 13 years after he died. "We" was his wife, Karen Krause Kimmel, me, Ruby Nichols, our kids Tania and Luke, Tania's hubby Marco, their kids Solana and Sierra, and Luke's daughter, Lucinda. We had a picnic at the Chawaluna Overlook area, then sat on the edge of the cliff, talked about Mike, and then got his ashes over the cliff although the wind was really blowing his ashes in our faces. This folder also includes 9 typewritten pages of my journal/diary for that special day.
