Three degrees of separation

I'm starting to think the world is three degrees of separation from Creston. It's bigger than Kevin Bacon! Now that Paul and I have moved away from there, we keep coming up with Creston connections to everything.

A couple of people at our new home, which is a townhouse (Diamond Brooke), have Creston connections. Gene Gardner (wife Mary Ann) was the president at Southeastern Community College. The Gardners know the Crittendens - Creston's own resident college type folks. Barb has been a college prez for many years already now. Steve is merely a banker, but he gets college status as he goes to college gatherings with Barb. Gene and Mary Ann know him as well. Connie Nixon also lives here at Diamond Brooke. She worked for a company that helped independent hardware stores purchase things. She knew the Seckingtons from Creston.

Now even Amy is getting into it. She's started a new job at Moore Brothers Design + Label Agency. It seems her new boss, Charlie Moore and his family are friends with Don Leith from Creston. Don's son Dean is my friend Patti's um, fiance. (for the past 20ish years now). Small world.

At Moore Brothers, Amy will again be designing labels, but unlike her last job, she'll get to work on lots of different projects. Moore Brothers is a graphic design business that helps with labels, marketing materials and web sites. Amy hopes to be able to help start-up food companies (and others who just want to re-do their present packaging) package their food to get ready to market it. A woman on their staff knows how to prepare the labels for USDA compliance - you know % fat, that kind of stuff. Most new food companies don't have any idea about how to do that. If you know anyone - not just in Denver but anywhere - that wants to package and market a new food - Moore Brothers is who they might wish to talk to.

This story has no Creston connection. During Amy's work hiatus, she helped the guy who lives in the place above her new apartment with cookie deliveries. He's a manager at this place - Check it out: http://www.thedirtycookie.net/ 
Recall that pot is legal in Colorado...picture all those dopers with the munchies. Plus just hungry folks who would like a nice warm cookie. You can get a "Dirty Duo" - cookies, milk and ice cream. One night last week, when Amy was helping, a guy requested that she use a Batman voice when she delivered the cookies. She got a big tip! She said she practiced the voice the whole way there.

I guess Creston people do like Batman and cookies...there IS a connection!
I'm glad she's starting her real job now!
