Poem by Martha Quillen
Holiday – December 1998 – Colorado Central Magazine
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the towns
Parents had adopted grim holiday frowns
For their half-finished projects did in no way resemble
The various items they were trying to assemble.

Leadville Holiday – September 1994 – Colorado Central Magazine
During September in Leadville, the changing aspen leaves aren’t all that qualifies as “local color.” Another top contender is the green of the annual St. Patrick’s Day Practice Parade.
Actually, it makes perfect sense for Leadville to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in September because, come March when everyone else is wearin’ the green, we’re likely to be wearin’ the white of a major snowfall.
