... and just for giggles - here's a pic of me in 1957. I'm the little fella being held up in the truck. Back then Telluride CO was just a little mining town with maybe 450 hardy souls. On Christmas Day we'd all head downtown in front of the Court House and get a present from Santa. Usually it was a bag with an orange, maybe a few walnuts and some of that wonderful colored ribbon candy.  
That's the old Sheridan Opera House bhind us.

The guy holding me up there is a rancher by the name of Gene Adams. Gene was a great guy whom fortune smiled upon some years later when his ranch turned out to be bedrock for the Telluride Ski Corporation. Needless to say, Gene don't work the ranch anymore.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all...
