Sept. 25 2003: "Greetings Gordon Bowen! Thank you for sending the reunion picture. Lots has happened since our last communication. I got married again to a great guy, Billy D. Bright whom I (and my late husband Earl Peeples) have known for 30 years. Am sending our wedding picture from Dec. 9, 2000. Also sending photos of this summer's art comission I made of fiberglass for the "Pride of Sacramento Group" entitled "Sun of a lion over beast Sacramento". My new home address is: 114 Northlite Circle, Sacramento, CA 95831 and the Website is now MaijaPeeples.com (not much has yet been changed other than site-but soon). Hope all is great with you and yours. Keep in touch, Maija"

February 23, 2008: From the San Francisco Bay area comes a blast from the past. Webmasters have received an email from Maury Polse, a student of David Zack's from his days teaching at Laney College (Oakland, CA) forty years ago. Included with his message (below) is a photo of this piece of Maija's art:
About the painting, and the Zacks, he wrote:
Hello,I am Maury Polse of Oakland, Ca. David Zack taught Art history at Laney College in Oakland where I took acoulple of classes from him. I traded a 4 string banjo I restored to David Zack for this Maija "Eilel Oopl" She colored it in my presence at the rainbow house an evening in 1968. The trip to Italy sounds like one of our field trips on steroids! The update reads like a novel. Hadn't heard anything about him since 68 or 69. What about Maija?Great site.Capt.
