31. Reminds me of

Sun Jan 11, 2026, 11:19 AM

Sunday

when Colorado was nearly subjected to hosting the Winter Olympics back in the 70's........

Thankfully, we had a very intelligent, astute, and true visionary Governor at the time.......Dick Lamm. Did I mention that he was a true Dem ??????????

He saved our State, time and time again, while he was Governor. And then, he continued influencing the minds of people after he left office. He wrote a weekly commentary, published in the Rocky Mountain News, about many significant problems that we were facing currently, and/or that we, as a nation would be facing..........I re-read those articles a few years back, and if there was ever a Visionary, he was it.......Four Decades later, almost all of them came true.........

Dick Lamm, thank you for all your contributions, they weren't listening then, and they're not listening still.
May you RIP......
