Dear Ralph
I grew up in Ny and wen to Denver U in 1968 and thought I had died and truly went to heaven. Never had I seen a skyline made of mountains before. I was part of the Denver Free U “eco-socio” experiment called Earthgames where we built domes and moved up to 9000′ near Pocha Springs, Colorado and life was never the same!!!! Thanks for being out there and protecting our little planet from those that would disturb her and all of her inhabitants!!!!
