The Christmas Eve blizzard of 1982 was over by Christmas morning. When we awoke that morning, our front door in Broomfield was a solid sheet of snow. The sky was cloudless and the sun bright, reflecting off the snow - which was everywhere! Our back yard, which had a 6 foot around it, had snow up the fence around the perimeter, but bare grass in the middle, such was the wind, which was why it was such a bad storm. It blew drifts several feet high across roads, making them impassable. Only emergency vehicles could, or were allowed to, get onto streets. Stapleton was the airport at the time. They ran out of food, diapers, etc. Fun! Memorable! Makes the storms this springs seem like that old piece of cake!

What a miserable excuse for tortilla soup. I would not insult my kitchen or family with that recipe.

When I was in Phoenix Amazon for a week of corp training in March of 2003.the sun was shinning. And having a great time. My wife was at home in Parker Colorado with our four daughters. She called me teling me that it was snow like crazy. I told her to goto rhe store and stock up on firewood and batteries and candles and food that dont need to cook on our electric stove in case. Well...it snowed a lot and the power went out. They stayed warm and fed. The neighbors came over too because they were freezing.

I must admit I was concerned fo them and I felt helpless being so far away, but I'm glad my wife did as I told and got supplies in time.

am unable to access the link to 'These historic photos show the impact on Denver of several historic blizzards' I'm trying to locate a photo of the 1946 snow storm. My Dad & Grandfather were in the paper with a photograph of the igloo they built on E. Evans!

Re: Denver’s Mona Denton didn’t get her due for pitching in professional baseball

I was on the AAGPBL website and there is not much information on Mona Denton. I Googled her name and this article came up. How sad that nobody remembered her from her street. Makes me wonder if she ever talked about her time in women's baseball. All of these ladies deserve recognition as they are true inspirations. I will forward this info on to the AAGPBL and hopefully they can add it to her player profile.

In 1982 I had just gotten divorced and for some reason my newly minted ex husband decided to drive 2 hours to see my parents in Black Forest and got stuck there for Christmas .I got stuck in Ft Collins unable to make it to my parents house. I was pretty bummed out that my ex had a great christmas at my own family house . It was memorable....

On the 20th of December in 2006 I had to drive from Boulder to Denver for a doctors appointment at National Jewish Hospital and I thought if I didn't show up they would charge me for the appointment so I drove to Denver despite that fact that there was supposed to be a major snowstorm as I was driving the snow started coming down and it got worse as I got closer to the hospital. I went inside the hospital and it was empty because of the storm but my doctors was there so I had my appointment . For some stupid reason afterwards
I decided not to go straight home to Boulder and instead of driving straight north on Colorado Blvd I drove west on Colfax and got stuck into very slow moving traffic and then after hanging out at bookstore I decided it was time to go back to Boulder So I headed to get onto I25 and somehow I got all screwed up and drove around and around until I finally got onto the I25 North where cars were moving very slowly and some people got out of their cars who were carrying bikes with them and left their cars in the middle of the highway and road their bikes away. It took about 4 hours to finally get to the Boulder exit to I36 and it took about an hour to drive what normally takes about 10 minutes to get to the sheridan street exit where we were made to get off the highway by the state police.So I had to get off the highway and somehow I got to 120th ave and then my car got stuck in the snow on 120th and someone helped push my car out of the snow and I drove to Broomfield where I tried to get back onto 36 but it was blocked and so I had to figure out how to get to Boulder without getting on the highway and so somehow I got to South Boulder road in Louisville where I was finally able to drive straight to Boulder. It took me a total of seven hours to drive what normally takes 40 minutes. My doctor at national jewish tells people the story of me driving all the way to Denver in a really bad storm and then I told him about it taking me 7 hours to get home and so I am now a legend at National Jewish Hospital for being dedicated to get to an appointment in a major snowstorm.

Re: Roy Rogers and Dale Evans draw record-breaking Denver crowd

Back in the 50s, our family lived in Eastern Colorado. During that time period, the merchants had decided that they could do more business on Saturday if the children were occupied and entertained, so the parents would be free to shop without a lot of "help" from the kiddies. So the merchants in our town sponsored free movies on Saturdays for the kids. Small kids had to be accompanied by an older sibling, relative or baby-sitter. Most of the movies which were made available on those Saturday afternoons were Western movies, featuring, Roy, Dale, Gene Autry, Rex Allen, The Durango Kid, the Lone Ranger and other Western heroes. At some point during that time, I guess I must have written a fan letter to Roy and Dale. A couple of years ago, I was surprised when I learned that Roy and Dale had actually kept ALL of the fan letters which they received over the years. A woman, who was eager to help out a foundation which Roy and Dale had founded, decided to publish a book of those long-ago letters which Roy and Dale received from their many fans. I was very surprised, during the past couple of years, to receive a letter from the lady who was putting together that book. It seems that one of my long-ago fan letters had been chosen for inclusion in that book. I contacted RFD TV, which had been airing episodes from the old Roy Rogers Show, and asked if the family of Roy Rogers was aware of the plans being made to publish a book about those long-ago fan letters. RFD television told me that the family of Roy and Dale IS aware of the book project and fully support the publication of that book. The name of the lady who was putting the book together is Tricia Spencer. The Denver Post should get in touch with her and ask about her book project. There may be other Colorado folks whose fan letters have become a part of this book project. It would be hard to tell how many other Hollywood celebrities actually kept the vast majority of the fan letters which they received, but I believe this just proves what a class act Roy and Dale really were! And, as such, they certainly deserved their titles of King of the Cowboys and Queen of the West. In case the Denver Post would like to get in touch with Ms. Spencer - following is her address -- Ms. Tricia Spencer, The Touch of Roy and Dale, P.O.Box 70669, Riverside, California 92513.
