I cherish memories of the Christmas season past and present. This is Marla with Lisa this year at her home. I’m with Santa at Capwells in Oakland. I’m probably in heavy discussion about the size of my weekly allowance. Stacy’s family at our house…
Yes, that’s me, an old “Dead Head” wearing one of my vintage Grateful Dead t-shirts. I read about the recent 60th Anniversary Grateful Dead celebrations and performances in San Francisco. Fans old and young flocked to San Francisco last week to hear the concerts and…
Our grandson Paxton is moving back to Denver and we couldn’t be happier! He previously taught history at a Boston middle school. Paxton was offered a position at Cole Charter Middle School in Denver. We all are super excited for him! Cole is where Marla taught in 1969-70…

I pulled out a medley of old photos, marketing materials, fabric work sheets, and much more from the saved boxes when we cleaned out our storage locker. I must say it was really fun to revisit these transformative times. This is a photo of me in my office next to…
Marla looks quite happy now that our Wesco fabrics’ storage locker is finally empty! The story of our company began in 1946 with Marla’s parents’ venetian blind business at 30th and Larimer Street in Denver with $4000 of capital & lots of hope. We eventually grew…
