Geography – December 2006 – Colorado Central Magazine
Editors:
I always find Colorado Central interesting reading. You may be surprised at the obscure things this reader, at least, notices, but which also give me the opportunity for shameless self-promotion.

Geology – August 2005 – Colorado Central Magazine
Dear Editors:
In the June issue of Colorado Central George Sibley made reference to the coming “oil peak” based on an article in Rolling Stone. I want to admit, up front, that I have not read Rolling Stone since the 1960s (but I do remember reading it then).

Mining History – January 2002 – Colorado Central Magazine
Dear Ed Quillen:
In the November 2001 issue you reviewed Riding the High Wire: Aerial Mine Tramways in the West, and you noted theabsence of mention of any aerial tramways in Central Colorado. One aerial tramway of interest was located west of Fairplay at what was the location of Leavick, Colo. (11,294 feet). Leavick is long a ghost town, but readers will understand where this is because this area is the access to Mount Sherman, the easiest Colorado Fourteener to climb.

Colorado Central – May 2001 – Colorado Central Magazine
Dear Editors:
With each issue of Colorado Central I am always inspired to write to you and tell you how much I enjoy your magazine. I don’t get around to it, which is just as well because I am sure a monthly letter from me telling you that I have been inspired by your most recent edition would be very boring, not to mention repetitious.

Colorado History – January 2000 – Colorado Central Magazine
Editors:
In your December issue, the interesting article “Tomichi Lives On” repeats an historical inaccuracy that has been so often repeated that it is now accepted as truth. The historical inaccuracy is that the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act caused the silver crash of 1893.

Rural Dialect – August 1999 – Colorado Central Magazine
More about that “more ’bout” locution
Dear Editors:
I just received my July 1999 issue of Colorado Central which I enjoy reading every month. On page 33 is the letter, “More ’bout that issue.” I am not writing in response to the letter’s subject matter, but because of the phonetic/hick spellings used. I guess that the style is intended to underline that the letter was written by someone in “these parts.”
