On August 12, 2010 I received a phone call from one of my dearest friends in Reno (also named Pam). She asked if I remembered Evelyn from Rainbow. I answered, “of course,” and we laughed at how she always followed us wherever we went. Evelyn was in the same assembly I was in. Pam and I were older than her however, we enjoyed being around her. It was fun to watch her blossom, when she first joined she was shy but it did not take long for her to show the fun loving person she was.
This workshop will be held on Tuesday, September 14th 2010 from 9 am to 5 pm.
