"Fran will always be in my heart!
I met Fran when we worked together on computerizing the Desert AIDS Project. From that day on we were friends.
One of my favorite Fran stories; we began going to San Felipe on weekends when David was working in Las Vegas. After the first couple of trips the camping bug bit and Fran wanted to buy a tent so we could camp on the beach. So we went shopping for a tent. She couldn’t be happy with a dome tent; Fran had to have the really Big Two Room tent.
We got the tent home to Fran’s house and over a pitcher of Margaritas decided to assemble the tent so we could ensure we knew how before heading to the Baja. Well we got the tent up finally and it was dark by then, no sooner than we sat down to enjoy our fruits of labor, the sprinklers came on.
I do not believe I ever saw before or after that day Fran running so fast to turn the sprinklers off. Boy did we laugh and since that day any time we reminisce it gives us a chuckle.
After the tent experience we did enjoy many weekends in the Baja….
And as time has passed and I have moved on we were able to plan some fun vacations in Mexico; at Zihuatenao/Ixtapa and Loreto. There were plenty of books as we enjoyed the same authors and of course good food and drink….
Fran I will miss you my friend and hope you have the margaritas ready when I arrive…
