To my immediate family, just wanted to let you know that the Harrington family in Colorado is planning to established a memorial at the Mountain Ute Indian Museum in Montrose. This plan was discussed while I was in Colorado and has been approved by the museum. The memorial site will be in the form of landscaping and consist of one (1) large Colorado Blue Spruce surrounded by ten (10) clumps of Aspen Trees. A plaque will be at the site, with the names of your grandfather, grandmother, Uncle Tad and Uncle Don. Larry is coordinating the project, assisted by Mike, Jess, Donna and other family members. Although, they had not taken it into consideration when they designed the project, it should be noted that the number of Aspen Tree clumps that will be planted, including mom and dad, there was a total of ten of us in the family. Today, I am mailing the Alaskan Harrington contribution to the project since they are nearing the planting season in Colorado. Please forgive me, but I could not pass up this Golden Opportunity to revenge my honor in relation to the "Bra Caper" that I endured during my recent visit to Colorado. Our contribution was transmitted in the form of silver. I had an excessive amount of fifty cent pieces and Susan B. Anthony Dollars. Not wanting any of them to get lost in the transit, I neatly placed each silver coin on a strip of clear plastic packaging tape. To further insure the security, I then put a second strip on the opposite side so the two tapes would be surely bound together with the coins sandwiched. When you lay a line of $170.00 in fifty cent pieces one inch apart, you have a long string of coins, then when you add an additional $30.00 in one dollar coins spaced two inches apart, the strip is quite long! So you do not have to do the math, that is 370 coins! By coincidence, the two nieces that were involved in the "Bra Caper" work at the same bank. I suggested to your Uncle Larry that he take them to their bank for deposit still incased in the tape. I know, I should have not done it - but I think your Uncle Don would have appreciated it! He made me do it! Now, I just have to face the postage cost of shipping the package! What should not be forgotten, is the next time that you or your children visit Montrose, you will have one place to go to pay your respect to those we loved, they are "roots" to be proud of. My best to all.
