an appreciation for art in
general. Sally and Mic
enjoyed traveling the
country in their van.
They collected interesting
antiques and western art.
They enjoyed many
summers at their log ca-
bin lake home on Lake
Metigoshe. In 2011, she
started spending her
winters at her Queen’s
Bay condo overlooking
The London Bridge in
