We moved to Denver form Kansas for my husband, Royce, to join the law firm of Grant, Shafroth & Toll in 1956. About the first week he came home and said, “I have been told I should join the University Club and join the lawyers for lunch, go to the University of Denver hockey games and go to Max Raabe for dentistry. So for the next 40 plus years we did exactly that. Max, his cute little father and I spent many hours discussing our children until all of a sudden “little” John was graduating from the University of Michigan and a big sign on the wall “months until John comes into our practice.” It was a big day when he arrived! Meanwhile Royce died, Max recently died and the torch was passed onto John. The University Club and DU Hockey been things of the past, but John, in 2010, has 3 generations of the Sickler family every 6 months.
