Priscilla and Fran went to the Grand Canyon, Sedona, the Hoover Dam, and Las Vegas. Her trips with Linda to the Canadian Rockies and to California and Yosemite National Park, San Francisco, Sequoia National Park, Carmel, and the Big Sur Highway was a "California Dreamin'" dream realized.  Fran enjoyed the friendship of co-workers and neighbors as well.
