Why) Pam and I met Weeden Nichols and his wife Rosalie at the October 2012 Regina Sectional and we both found them to be pleasant, friendly and still enjoying their lives (not exactly a common combination when we are at the bridge table). The big coincidence for me occurred when they mentioned that they were from New Mexico and they had come up to Regina because it was one of the last states/provinces that they hadn't been to. Well, at that time the only one of the continental states that Pam and I hadn't visited was New Mexico and we were in the process of planning this Arizona trip to include it. So, when Weeden gave me his card I couldn't help but put the Mesilla Art Gallery on this list.
