on it. It has really put fun back into cycling.” Cito Fredrickson, his wife Amy, and their three children continue to do well. Up until the pandemic, Cito continued working two jobs, as the owner of a historic seasonal hotel in Williams, Ariz. and a flight attendant with 20 years of experience. These are temporarily on hold. Cito remembers, “I am saddened by our collective loss of Chuck Froelicher, our friend and mentor. In 2011, I was able to attend our 50th class reunion. I can tell you how pleased I was that this collection of late 60-year-olds were all still gainfully employed.

1968 After his sabbatical in Colorado, Fred Morfit returned to Marin County, only to recover from a year of medical emergencies which sidelined him from action. Fred broke a foot in a “stupid” household accident in June 2019, which put him on crutches for most of the Summer. This was followed quickly by an emergency appendectomy and then the discovery of atrial fibrillation and a surgical procedure to correct it.
