part of Alaska’s fifty-year Statehood celebration
this organization has chose the Alaskan women
who have helped shape the state in to what it

was in California and could not attend.
Congratulations
Rie!
MUNOZ
WRAPS UP HER TRIP TO MORRO BAY
Rie in Morrow Bay with Juan & Matthew
Rie
Muñoz sat out another grueling Alaskan
winter in the mild clime of Morro Bay, CA,
a shrewd move. Rie spent time sightseeing,
visiting with family and friends, and painting.
Excerpt
from a recent letter;
“Everyday I get up around 6 am, get dressed,
go downstairs—make the coffee and eat breakfast
while watching CNN news which is often the same
as the previous few days. Then I walk over to
my brother, Piet’s house and we have coffee
together and then we split up and they do their
things whatever that might be and I start painting
until around noon, all seven days a week. I love
that part of the day best of all.”
JUAN
AND MATTHEW VISIT RIE
Last
week, my two- year-old son Matthew and I visited Rie in
Morro Bay after a few fun filled days in Disneyland. It
was like “Boys Gone Wild!” It was great in the
big city but even more so in peaceful Morro Bay visiting
‘grandma’.
