Editor;

About Lake City: I didn’t get there soon enough. Had I found the wonderful Village (City) 10 or 20 years earlier here are things I would’ve done.
Caught fish in San Cristobal. Paddled a canoe on the waters of San Cristobal. Rode my bike from Red Cloud Family Ranch to the Post Office. Joined the Ghost Tour. Researched Shadrach Elsworth who presided over a restaurant in Lake City (1876). More hours in the courthouse to discover items about Abraham (Link) Lincoln Lashbaugh. Digitized Grant Houston’s card file.
During the 14 summers that we did meander around Lake City, I regularly walked upstream in the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River. On my bike, I whizzed through the streets and up Henson Creek Road. I interviewed many of the people in the City for articles in the Silver World. And I like to think I made many friends.
About Lake City? I love it. Oh, how I miss quaint Lake City.
