We are delighted to join
the Inn's Zuni personnel,
as well as all 20 staff members
of Halona Plaza in welcoming
hosting and visiting with
the Inn At Halona’s guests.
 Bud
at his MOST solemn!

Roger
Thomas, a native of
Chambery,
France, and his wife, Elaine Dodson Thomas have lived in Zuni and managed Halona Plaza
since 1974. Elaine is the granddaughter of Andrew (who emigrated from Friesland) and
Effa Vander Wagen , and the daughter of the 9th Vander Wagen child, Gertrude Vander Wagen
Dodson Wall. Elaine and Roger have 3 adult children and 4 grandchildren. The only
"youngsters" now in residence at the Innkeepers' nearby home are a
few finicky cats, Angel, Bud and Bud's "apprentices", P.T. and
Tufi. Bud thinks he oversees the Inn and he may (or may not) be there to greet
you at the door and escort you to your room. He actually exhibits an uncanny way to sense
when guests (NOT mere visitors!) are on their way to the Inn. Obviously, Bud
caters to human guests only and does not wish to welcome other pets! He also
personally welcomes returning guests: but none of our feline
"staff" intrude upon people who might be
adverse to cats! Also, Bud answers his own "e-Fan Mail"... |

(*) Well... Actually, an adaptation of a recently published, popular comic
strip - Strictly for fun! Your
Innkeepers' favorite quote:
 |
"People who come looking for this kind of accommodation are looking
for something different - and maybe they are different themselves" -
Stated to a local newspaper by Daniel Alexandrian (of "La Campagne Jeanne", a French
B&B), referring to B&B Guests in general . |
