Re: Goldfish for lunch (off topic)

Howdy, Pardner -

You referenced the Garden of the Gods in an earlier post, and the source of your "handle"
on the NGDF.   While a student at nearby (to you) Colorado College, I was privileged to
be a guest member at the GotG tennis club, and spent many a golden autumn afternoon -
and very gusty day in spring - enjoying the view while trying to concentrate on the @#$%&
yellow ball (or were they still white in those days?)

Are you aware that the actor who played your namesake Festus in the Gunsmoke TV series was a CC grad? I'm sorry that I can't remember his name, but do remember that there was a two- or three-page article about him in the CC alumni magazine several years ago.   Ed Stabler, who posts frequently here on the forum, grew up in The Springs; his dad, "Doc" Stabler, was a very popular biology professor at CC.
