a) ` Letter From The President Bob Mashburn President, Mile-High Section

Bob was on vacation so this month I will fill in for Bob on the Presidents letter. At the

monthly board meeting in June the board of directors decided to change the Board of

Directors meeting schedule from monthly to quarterly. The next quarterly meeting is

scheduled for August 2nd at 6:30 pm. Location will be Mike Redel’s home located at 12245

Helena St. Brighton. Co 80603. Time will be 6:30pm. The next club event is The annual

Joint Picnic held with the Pikes Peak Section on Sat July 14th. We will meet at the Hiwan

Homestead museum in Evergreen for a guided tour and then picnic at the Hiwan Heritage

Park next to the museum. This promises to be a very fun and informative outing. Make your

reservation with Deb Hokanson by July 7th 2018. Many thanks to Deb and Jay Hokanson for

organizing this event.

Looking ahead to August 11th we are planning a drive to Leadville with a guided tour of

Baby Doe’s Matchless Mine site, also a self tour or the National Mining museum. We will

have lunch at the historic Silver Dollar Saloon which opened in 1879 and is still in its

original building. Should be a great summer drive and experience. Contact Karen Redel for

reservations.

Hope to see you at the coming events, have a safe summer.

Best Regards

Mike Redel

Joint Section Picnic Hiwan Homestead Museum, Saturday, July 14, 2018 at noon

4208 Timbervale Dr., Evergreen You won’t want to miss this fun and fascinating historical tour.

A cool, summer afternoon at this true hidden gem in Evergreen!

We will meet at 11:45 am at the Museum for our special guided tour.

In the 1890's, Mary Neosho Williams, a Civil War widow, and her daughter Josepha, part of the aristocratic society

of Denver acquired a simple log structure and hired a Scottish carpenter to convert it into a summer cottage. In

1889, Josepha graduated from Medical School in Denver and became one of Colorado's first women doctors.

Seven years later, Josepha married Canon Charles Winfred Douglas, an Episcopal clergyman who achieved world

acclaim for his musical work. After Joespha’s death in 1938 the house was sold to Tulsa oilman, Darst Buchanan

and the property named Hiwan Ranch, after Buchanan's prize winning Hiwan Hereford cattle. Six generations of

notable families lived in this rustic mountain lodge (each adding new rooms), before it was developed as a museum

by Jefferson County in 1974.

We will tour this wonderful home with one of the Hiwan’s special tourguides. After our tour we will enjoy a picnic

lunch at the Shelter in the Hiwan Heritage Park just adjacent to the Museum. This is one of Jay and my favorite

places. The Museum and grounds are beautiful, with a rich history and peaceful mountain setting. We really are

looking forward to hosting our joint picnic at this venue. Cost is $17.50 per person, which includes your admission

to the museum and lunch. Please sign up using the reservation form below, and mail the form & payment to Jay

Hokanson by July 7, 2018.

FORT COLLINS DRIVE

JOIN US FOR A LOVELY FALL DRIVE

Saturday, September 15, 2018

1. Meet at 9:30am at Starbucks, 45 East 120th Ave. Thornton, at the northeast corner of

I-25 and 120th Avenue. From I-25 drive east on 120th one block to Grant Street. Turn

left and drive north a bit to enter the retail area on the left. Starbucks is way over in the

southwest corner of the retail area. People who live up north are welcome to meet us at

the restaurant.

2. Vote for our preferred route: either north on I-25 or west on 120th (Hwy 128) to

Broomfield, then north on U.S. 287.

3. At about 9:45 or so, head for the rustic venerable restaurant on the Poudre River

northwest of Ft Collins: The Mishawaka Amphitheatre, 13714 Poudre Canyon Highway,

Bellvue, CO, 970-482-4420, www.themishawaka.com.

4. If we vote to take U.S. 287, drive north through Ft. Collins. The road curves around to

the west and about 8 miles from Ft Collins splits between U.S. 287 and Hwy 14 (Poudre

Canyon Road). A Shell Station is on the corner. Take Hwy 14 about 14 miles to

Mishawaka on the right near MM (mile marker) 109.

5. If we vote to take I-25, drive north to Hwy 14 (Mulberry in Ft Collins). Go west on

Mulberry to North College Ave. (U.S. 287). Turn north and continue as in #4 above.

6. Meet for lunch about 11:45 to noon and enjoy good food and socializing at a beautiful

setting next to the river.

7. So that I can give the restaurant a head count for lunch, please inform me by

September 8 if you plan to go. And thank you. Michael Davison, [email protected]. Ph
