Perry Ball

I stayed with the Ball's in 1972 and hitchhiked through Durango a second time in 1974. Without question the best the West has to offer.

Pretty sure I have it right that Sam and Perry traded coverage, when a couple days off would interrupt the practice of medicine. Possibly the last of the medical Old Guard. Blessings to all you Balls.

Blessings to you all! As I would say to Lois and Perry, "Hugs" You are Loved!
