Like lots of other folks, I spent summers here until the opportunity came up about 10 years ago to live here full time. I had gone through the regimen of a business career, raising a family, losing a wife, house payments, broken down cars; the myriad of events one experiences going through life. The call of the wild came through loud and clear! The cabin in Green Mountain Falls came into the family in 1929. A home I was familiar with and loved, in a town that I loved. I spent a few years making my grandparent’s summer cabin a year-round sanctuary where I could spend the rest of my life in simplicity.

The hidden wonder of the great outdoors, the quietness of nature, the smallness of the community-all this and more pulled me. It was a decision that has made me content ever since. The community of people, also drawn to this quiet little bit of the past, cannot be described by mere words. They have enriched and gladdened my heart on a daily basis.

I have made many friends here. I am now honored to be named 2024 Grand Marshal of the Bronc Day Parade.
