Re: RC: Doris Anderson's passing

[Maureen Mathisen <blueoak@snowcrest.net>]

Nikki,

Thank you for telling us of Doris' passing.  I too rode her ride many
times and she and her husband were gracious and knowledgeable.  They
were always there to lend a helping hand, and for those of us who
trailered a long ways from CAlifornia in the early days, she always
provided not only an "overnight" camp but a wonderful Sunday breakfast
cooked by she and her husband and her volunteers to send us on  our way.

I am truly sorry, and will pass the word.

Maureen
