Chris Quinn Memorial This Friday

I am not sure who all reads this blog so I am posting this here in case someone was missed. This was an email I sent out to friends and family of Chris Quinn who passed away 12 years ago near Brighton Ski Resort. We will be reuniting in his memory on Friday, Feb 8th at Brighton.  Please pass this on to anyone who may be interested in going. Thanks!


It's hard to believe it's been almost 12 years since we've seen our dear friend Chris. I still think of him often, especially this time of year. I am sure anyone who knew him feels the same way. He had an unforgettable smile and laugh and I still have an endless supply of great memories with him. His life and death left a huge impression on my own life.

I have been thinking it's time we had a reunion among Chris' friends and family for several years now, but this year the feeling has been so strong that I could not deny it any longer. I am asking you to forward this on to anyone who knew Chris. I have lost touch with so many friends from those days so I only have a few email addresses.

I have talked to Brighton Resort about this and they are happy to offer a half price day pass to anyone who attends. I will just need to give them an idea of how many will be there. Please RSVP to Susan at mooneys@wildblue.net if you are planning to attend. I realize this is really short notice for those of you who live out of state, but we hope you too can make it, and if not, we know your heart will be there.

We will meet at the top of Clayton's Peak at 1:00 PM for a reunion and memorial. Please let me know if you have any questions or ideas. And don't forget to forward this on ASAP so that as many people as possible get the word.

I look forward to seeing many of you there.
Sincerely, Susan Mooney (Allen)





Below is more details from a more recent email:

Hi!
I just wanted to remind you all that we are still planning to go to Brighton on Friday. Cathi Minami (Chris' sister) would like to host a lunch that day also. So we will meet at 12:00 at Molly Greens and then we can all head up to Clayton's Peak together. I have received some RSVP's and some have let me know that they will not be able to make it. Thanks for the heads up, it will be great to see those of you who will be there and we will miss those who can not. If you are planning to come please let me know ASAP so I can let Brighton and Cathi know how many to expect. Please forward this on to anyone who you may have forwarded to before.
Thanks!!!
Susan
