Added a page on Kent Haruf - arguably the best Colorado novelist - who passed away
November 30. His father Louis, a Methodist minister, and mother Eleanor, lived in
Fleming, Paoli, Holyoke, Wray, Yuma, and Canon City. My mother Jennie was teaching at
Wages when Louis preached there in the early 1940's. During gas rationing she lived
in the lean-to on the Wages store, and couldn't visit her parents on weekends. So she
attended Louis' church, on the northeast corner of the intersection - school on the
southwest - store on the northwest corner. Many years later Jennie was reading to Special
Ed students at Lone Star School, when Kent was teaching English there.
Thanks to Lois Ross Blacker, added three great photos of the 1934 Beecher Island reunion-
although in Yuma County, the Sterling (Logan County) 60-member drum & bugle corps
entertained.
Thanks to Stephen Schneider, added some nice photos to the G.W. Davisson page.
