My parents went to the University in Boulder back in the early 50’s. Got married in June 1955 and I was born in Colorado Springs 9 months later. Spent a few years moving around and ended up in La Junta, my dad was the professor of journalism and director of publicity at Otero Junior College. Then we got horses and moved to Cheraw 10 miles north of La Junta and my parents commuted to La Junta for work. My second husband’s parent lived in Colorado Springs so we visited them there until we got divorced. My youngest son who was 16 when we got divorced chose to live with his dad who moved hime to Colorado Springs. We got him back in Tucson for his senior year of HighSchool in 2008. Hence part of why he bounces around…

My oldest son lived in Cortez for about 4 years and now is in Farmington area. My twins have never lived in Colorado.

I returned to Colorado for my Cheraw High School Reunion last summer. An all school reunion because it is such a small school. I had 19 kids in my graduating class. It was so fun to see many of them and upper and lower classmen too…

It reminded me of how much I love Colorado
