Well: 1961 to 1966 I was stationed at a small radar site in LaJunta CO. The area south of Denver was sort of
slow and easy mostly because of the ranch and farm base, some railroad, a old steel mill had been kept alive
by WWII. I returned to the East in 1966 were over the next few years while living in a small town in NH you would
see people moving to NH to get away from the high taxes and stuff of the Boston area. Some would go to Town Meeting
and complain they did not have curbing and street lights. I admire the people that thrive where you have to fix your
own or trade with your next door guy or gal that might be a great fixer of this or that.
Have a nice day Don K.

Lived in La Junta for 20 years, left there about 10 years ago and miss it badly.  Wonderful people; ranchers, farmers, just plain good folk and few of them, wonderful place to raise a family. Small world isn't it!

Well; It is a small world . When I was tx to La Junta, there was a large buildup of both AF and RR which destroyed (about 80 families each) the rental market. 
I was lucky enough to be able buy a house on the western edge of the city (GI loan).  There was a service ally between our house and a house where another
GI lived, we became good friends and hunting buddies. My oldest started grade school in west school, now gone. The road my house was on came off CO 10 
which goes to Walsenburg where I now live with the oldest on a mountain side (They want me closer than a couple of k miles). I am beginning to get a little
worried I may have bury one of them. The oldest turns 70 the day before I turn 93. Have a nice day Don K
