Mountain Life – April 1994 – Colorado Central Magazine
Among my many duties for Colorado Central, I sell ads. For those of us who went to journalism school in the early 1970s with the idea of becoming the next Woodward and Bernstein, selling ads is a dreadful betrayal of our youthful idealism. We’re supposed to be writing exposés of corrupt conspiracies in the military-industrial complex. We’ve sold out to the establishment if we’re writing prose for small-town merchants.

Some of the biggest fiascoes in America in the last few years have been directly attributable to poor zoning, planning and, building. California wild fires. Mudslides. Homes on faults. Homes built on mudslides next to faults. Homes built on flood plains. Florida homes designed to litter the countryside like so many toothpicks.

Folks who have lived in Central Colorado for a while have undoubtedly noticed that much of the snow that falls here doesn’t actually melt. It just sort of goes away.

We bought a 160-acre ranch near Westcliffe a couple of years ago, mainly because it is a beautiful area that has not been exploited. We are currently farming it from a distance with the great help of some wonderful people there, though we plan to become permanent residents there soon.

I’m a member of an endangered species — an open-minded and at least semi-literate resident of El Paso County — and I need all the moral support I can grasp.

April 1994 – Colorado Central Magazine
Maybe we aren’t a real magazine. Already we’re at the second issue, and we haven’t run a word about Lorena Bobbitt or Tonya Harding. So we’ll try to hold your interest by answering some of the questions we’ve been asked. In publishing, there’s a theory that every person who summons up the fortitude to question an editor represents at least 500 good citizens who want to ask questions, but don’t.

Crestone Pyramid – April 1994 – Colorado Central Magazine
I read with great interest and enjoyment your premiere issue. I was especially fascinated by the article on Crestone by Martha. When I was a boy growing up in the San Luis Valley in the l940s, our family would make the trek from Monte Vista to Crestone about once each summer for an idyllic family picnic and outing along the banks of Crestone Creek.
