Let's play "Guess Who Said This?"  Do you think it was a liberal, a conservative, a young man, an older woman, who?  Submit your guesses in the comments box, and the winner will receive a place on an open spot on whatever Estes Park commission or non-profit currently has lost a member through death or removal through indifference, provided you qualify by being over a century old. Meanwhile, let's return to our regularly scheduled meeting "The Makeup Of Every Board In Estes Park Except For The Token White Woman, Unless It's A Board Comprised Exclusively Of Older White Women With One Token Older White Man"
