Title
Rossville Methodists Went Skiing in Colorado
Description
Members of the Rossville United Methodist Church and guests recently returned from a three-day ski trip to Winter Park and Silver Creek, Colo.
The trip, which was coordinated by Doug and Betsy French and Diane Heckerson, attracted 38 people. The group left Rossville on a chartered bus on February 16, for Colorado where they stayed at the YMCA of the Rockies.
The return trip was delayed when blowing snow caused Interstate High¬way 70 to be closed and the group had to stay overnight in Limon, Colo.
However, for the most part the weather was beautiful and skiing con¬ditions were ideal, the Reverend Gene Damewood, minister of the church, said. “Skiing conditions were perfect for half of the group to learn to ski and the other half to improve their skills,” he said.
Shown by the bus as they prepared to leave, are: L-R, front row (kneeling): Betsy French, Kenny Verschelden, Lorene Damewood, Dwane Isaacson, Irene Isaacson, Tara Claycamp, Diane Heckerson, Angela Berkey, Heather Damewood, LaVone Hedges, Angela Murphy, Joan Murphy, Andy Foster, Adam Foster, Virginia Foster, Sheldon Murphy, Mark Murphy, Sean Claycamp.
