Letter from Allen Jones
May, 1996, edition – June 1996 – Colorado Central Magazine
Editors:
You should consider renaming your magazine The Whiners’ Almanac, because it seems to me as if that’s all it is–a forum for anyone who likes to whine.

Rural West – June 1996 – Colorado Central Magazine
After nearly a century of ever-intensifying metropolitan growth, American society has begun a march back toward its hinterlands. Reacting to the cacophony of urban life, millions of Americans seemed to be succumbing to what may be called the Valhalla syndrome — a fin de siècle yearning for a heavenly retreat, with the promised reward of a simpler, less complex existence.
