    Norm & Peg – We’re renewing our wedding vows from 25 years ago in Aspen tomorrow. Know of any good ministers?!?!? Hope all is well with you. We’re camping at Redstone Campground – RVing it – but cell service is sketchy. If you are in Basalt & have time to catch up, let us know. Will also try on LinkedIn. John & Deb
