1970s

Mike Mendes ’76 writes, “After living in southeast Denver for more than 45 years, last summer, my wife, Kathy, and I moved to a small town between Denver and Colorado Springs called Palmer Lake. We found a fantastic two-and-a-half acre property with our busiest neighbors being deer and foxes. I started a kitchen remodeling company eight years ago, and have enjoyed the creativity and independence. My son is an engineer living in Loveland, north of Denver, and my daughter is a nurse living in south Denver. I’ve written a little book about my sailing adventures over the years, which should be published in a couple of months, called Ripples in Time. (It was edited by Beth Hangelli ’77!) Also, every year we put on a large holiday light display and had a drone video done of it last year.”
