Monday night was a great night, for me and for a number of other people who were recognized by the Museum of Western Colorado for our work related to the museum and its mission.

The Awards themselves are aspen-wood vases, made by a volunteer at the museum, so they’re pretty special, as well.

Special thanks to all of the wonderful readers who frequently tell me how much they enjoy my history columns.
