ASK A VENDOR THIS COLUMN IS A PLACE FOR DENVER VOICE VENDORS TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS FROM OUR READERS AND STAFF. THIS MONTH’S QUESTION WAS SUGGESTED BY DENVER VOICE VENDOR JERRY ROSEN. Q A What are your hobbies? DAVID GORDON My true hobby is following the NBA, NFL, and most sports played at the professional level. I also follow some isolated college teams. I don’t think I would have called this a hobby 20 years ago, but today, with the technology and advanced stats tracking, it’s fun watching and following sports. JAMES LETEMPT I love to draw. I also like to write poems. I love to do those two things. JERRY ROSEN I like to read and to do a lot of walking. I believe walking is very relaxing. You can see quite a lot of things when you walk. GABRIEL PEARCE I love to swim, do martial arts, draw, make friends, and help others. RAELENE JOHNSON My biggest hobby is traveling because I love to go to new places and experience new things. Until I get my car up and running again, my hobby right now is just healing from chemo and being patient with everything else going on. CHARLES SPRING My hobbies are poetry, collecting old coins and zippo lighters, art and painting, collecting Garbage Pail Kids and other stuff from the ‘80s, and walking in the park or just around. I also like to hunt and hope to go hunting soon.
