You apparently were at Estes Park. Please tell us more about it. Was that late Summer and early Fall of 1973 ? Judith I Bourque is Probably an American by birth, yet perhaps is a Swedish citizen. The following is likely Judith's mother's obit, which notes her mother reared a family, and was buried, in Massachusetts. This obit of Judith's mum also mentions a grandchild named Jonathon Olivegren Bourque, likely the issue of Judith and the Seelisburg TMO official named Olivegren. Jonathon apparently posted a positive comment about RooSFoC within the past month on some site or another that is promoting RoosFoC.
