SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO

We met up with yet another '61 Taftee, Phil Kahil, in Santa Fe. He took us on a tour of the town where we stopped at the Georgia O'Keefe Museum to see her work. I hadn't known anything about her before the summer. My friend Sue, who is the Art Teacher at Taft during the summer, had some books on Georgia O'Keefe and her works. So I was pretty excited to be able to see her paintings in person at the museum. After the museum, we went over to a local restaurant called "Tia Sophia's" and had a great time talking and catching up. Phil is a real entreprenuer who has had some fantastic inventions. We saw a special on Discovery Channel about his recent idea. It is very fun to meet all of Jack's classmates and see how they are all doing.
