at the Academie Julian before returning to native soil and landing in  
New England. A student of the sky, waves, and snow-covered hills of  
Maine and Vermont, Connaway belonged to the generation that presented

voters will decide whether or not to adopt Question 4, the TABOR II  
initiative. In 1992, Colorado voters passed a TABOR amendment with  
devastating effects on the economy, education, and services. By 2005,

his briefcase among Cliff's luggage at the German border. History is  
in the process of being made. Musical numbers include It Couldn't

precision, the "Plaids" are guaranteed to be a smash hit, with beloved  
songs and delightful patter that will keep you rolling in the aisles  
when you're not humming along to some of the great nostalgic pop hits
