Talk to Daniel on Athletics. He is looking for someone with diabetes to rock climb and hand out for summer. I gave him your name and told him you and I have had lengthy conversations about rock climbing and rapelling. I told him how skilled you were. Maybe that would give you a place to stay and fulfill your dream of going to Colorado! Judith
