As new people appear in my dreams, I will update the list below.  All names are listed in alphabetical order by first name.

Albert – My head guide while on safari in Tanzania in October 2012.  The best!

Becky – One of my best friends from study abroad in Bonn, Germany, in 1999.  Lives in Huddersfield, England.

Cardinal Jessica – One of my BFFs who I met about 12 years ago.  She was the door girl at the best bar in the world, the Cardinal Bar, in Madison, WI, where I spent a large portion of my time in the mid-2000s.  We both then moved to Chicago.  She now lives in Minneapolis.
