Cristina Guatimosim's farewell party featured perfect weather for mushrooms (and several pounds of chanterelles were gathered in the rain) and a festive dinner for 18 that featured pork tenderloin with a chanterelle cream sauce, cheese tortelloni, garlic bread, tossed salad, and chocolate delights from Sweet Soiree. Special guests included Charles Harata (from Stanford) and Tom Gillingwater (from Edinburgh University) who, along with Cristina led a Friday workshop (in Denver) on FM dye photoconversion. Other workshop participants included Tom Finger and Sue Kinnamon (who led the mushroom foray), Diego and Angela Restrepo and their children Camilla and Lucas, Ute Becherer, Amanda Cochilla, Jason Tregellas, and David Richards (whose friend Jeanette, and sister Sue and her husband Andrew came, too). The entire affair was pulled off thanks to Steve Fadul's help.
Steve stayed overnight and on Sunday he and Bill deconsecrated three outhouses!
