We were pleased to host a young scientist named Ryan for supper tonight. He's working on a bird and plant survey at Mesa Verde. More relevant, he's the son and nephew of a couple of friends of long standing and the grandson of a dear friend of the family. So, after a pleasant supper and catching up on family stories (may have given him a few he hadn't heard before!), we visited some family spots in Mancos. As it happens, the house he's shown standing in front of is one I lived in shortly after arriving in Mancos and it's also a house his grandfather lived in. His grandfather graduated from Mancos High School, shown behind him in the second picture up, as did my kids. Finally, I'm sure Ryan's grandfather and great-grandfather went to events in the historic Mancos Opera House.
After the brief show-me tour of Mancos, Ryan sat in on the Mancos Valley Cares forum held at the Mancos Community Center. Great turnout ... more than 50 people! Hopefully, we helped people prep for the County Planning Commission scoping session on July 9, and we got good questions and discussion concerning possible long-range planning for the Mancos Valley. Good variety of viewpoints expressed in the short time we had. Tired. tv
