Sit Spot in the Ponderosa

It was mid-day at 8,500 feet amidst the Ponderosa and Oak scrub of Top of the Pines (TOP) Preserve outside Ridgway, CO. The grasses, dried and aromatic, reminded me of chaparral. Luckily, I had been sitting contently in the shade for a good length of time. I couldn’t tell you how long.

Ironically, September 1975 and September 2025 share the same calendar configuration. Fifty years ago this Friday I arose early in our Wheaton, Illinois home and drove to O’Hare Airport. There I boarded a plane for Denver and the ultimate destination of Durango, Colorado.

To Our Community, As many of you know, my first “baby” was the Silverton Family Learning Center. It’s why I landed in Silverton over 16 years ago. It continues to be a big part of my life, but in a different way, as my daughters now get to take part in a high-quality, early childhood education.
