Politics – December 2006 – Colorado Central Magazine

Editors:

Very poignant piece by Hal Walter in the October edition. Having inadvertently purchased some asbestos along with a house in the past, I can relate to the frustration with local bureaucracies as well as the deep concern for family. Please convey best wishes from a couple he’s never met. One good laugh in the article as well — “cognitive and social dysfunction … Republican voting tendencies and widespread addiction to Fox News….”

Monarch – May 2005 – Colorado Central Magazine

Editors:

From your April edition: “On March 3, the Monarch Ski and Snowboard Area opened Mirkwood Basin….”

I’ll bet Rich Moorhead had a lot to do with that name being used. In the early seventies, when we were all about 20 years old, there was a stand of aspen in Garfield that had the nickname Lower Mirkwood, an appellation appropriated by Ned Stock (I think) from the Rings trilogy.
