Glade Park & Piņon MesaOle' Spiral NotebookForumSomeday this may be a live chat room, if participation grows. But for now, just pretend you are leavin' a note in that old spiral notebook we use for a journal at the cabin. Whoever comes along can read what others wrote, and add their own 2 cents. If you want to reply to what someone else wrote, address it to them, and I will pass it along. In an instantaneous world, delayed gratification is a good thing! Page 2This is the second page of the Ole' Spiral Notebook. The first one has been archived, but is still available from a link at the bottom of this page. It was just getting to be too long of a scroll to the bottom! From now on the newest entries will be at the top, so you don't have to wade through the old ones if you have already read them. See, you can teach old dogs new tricks!Sunday, June 15, '08 - I am not sure that this is the place to write however I am SO GLAD that I stumbled onto this we site. I am a granddaughter of Eli and Eula Miracle who lived on their ranch in Glade Park for many years. Every summer and Christmas vacation my family would visit my Grandma and Grandpa and I have so many memories of Glade Park! My grandparents and parents have since passed away and after 20 years I am finally able to make a trip back to Glade Park. I am happy to see that the store, school house (where my Mom went to school) and the cemetary (where my Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle and 2 Aunts are buried) are all still there. I know things have changed but now after reading the information on this web site, I realize maybe not too much. I can't wait to see it all again and will continue to check this website for a link to my past and updates on things to come!!! Shirley Watkins Folsom, California Friday, June 13, '08 - I just happened to stumble across this website. Guess I am feeling a little home sick! I see my Aunt Peggy has found this - not sure about the rest of my family but they all are still living in the area. My 14 year old son, Levi, was able to spend a month with his grandparents (Danny & Charlene Mahoney) last summer and they showed him all around. He really enjoyed the history of Glade Park and of course his grandparents and great grandparents part of it all. I will be sure to visit often! Debbie Mahoney-McLemore Marble Falls, Texas Thursday,June 12,'08 - Hello! Lynn Grose has been helping me get some information together for the Mesa County 125th Anniversary Celebration. I have a post card of the Glade Park Store, and have copied the wonderful home page of your website, as well as the poem "The Beautiful Gnat." These items will be included in a time capsule that will be housed at the courthouse for future generations. These items will be officially presented at the Old Fashioned Ice Cream Social this Saturday morning, on the old Courthouse lawn. Lynn is unable to come to the event and present the materials and suggested that you might be able to do that for us. You would need to be there at 9:45 Saturday morning. Could you let me know if this is something that you might be able to do to help make sure Glade Park is part of the celebration? Thanks very much! Ronna Lee Sharpe State Folklorist for Western Colorado Colorado Council on the Arts/Museum of Western Colorado Grand Junction, CO I already talked to Ronna Lee on the phone and let her know that I would be happy to come down to the courthouse for the time capsule ceremony and ice cream social. Hope to see you there too! Deb Moorland glade-park.com Tuesday, June 10, '08 - We have recently purchased property on Glade Park near AS 1/4 & 14 Roads. Saturday, June 7 my little old dog disappeared up there. She is a border collie mix. Black and white. She has a pink camo collar with a county license & rabies tag. She is 12 years old and nearly deaf. She recently had a stroke and sometimes gets confused and off balance. We think she probably wandered off to rest in peace, but would be very appreciative to know if anyone has seen her. Please contact Carla at 245-7948 or 250-0812. Thanks so much! Carla Hatch Glade Park, CO Tuesday, June 3, 2008 - I was contacted today by the Museum regarding getting an item from the Glade Park community to go into a time capsule that they are placing at the old court house corner stone. The item has to be very small with a description of the item and why we are placing it there. They are looking for items that reflect that area or history of that area. Does anyone have a suggestion? We need to have this item by Thursday morning and they would like someone from the community to be present to give the item over to be place into the capsule. The ice cream social and time capsule event is Saturday, June 14th at 9:30 at the old courthouse lawn. I told her I would get back with her right away, so give me your thoughts and suggestions please. Appreciate the input! Lynn Grose President Glade Park Community Services Tuesday, June 3, '08 - Rocky Mountain News -front page story 6/3/08 re incident at the potholes. Good description from the survivors of what actually happened and their grief...good warning to others. Theresa Janssen Glade Park Store Theresa - The pictures that accompany the Rocky Mtn. News story break your heart. He was so young, having a good time with his friends. Since this tragedy I have been thinking I will go back to reasearching the deaths at that spot. It isn't going to go away. Maybe we could put up a memorial, listing the people who have died there. It might help bring it home to the young people going up there to have a good time, that they really are in dangerous territory.
Sat May 18, '08 - OOPS. Time is flying by so fast I almost forgot to remind all who read these pages that the GPVFDclean up day is May 24. Yes next Saturday !!! Help clean the fire department grounds and eat lunch. If you can not make the work day but would like to set your volunteer dates Jill will have her calendar with her. Come on over and sign up. We will be starting at 9 am and finish as soon as we can so we can enjoy some of the day. As we think the weather has changed for the warmer finally. Hope to see you next week or in less than 3 weeks when "Movies Under the Stars" starts its season. Deb Trotter Mark your calendar for May and check the forum for the actual date for the spring clean up at the GPVFD even if you can not help with the clean up, Jill will be there with her June, July and August calendar for the sign up sheet forvolunteering. This great event can not be as successful without the great volunteers. Please remember that the GPVFD is a non profit and does not rely on tax dollars. So this yearly event is a huge asset to the GPVFD and especially the Glade Park community. Money generated from this three month fundraiser accounts for approximately 60% of donated income received by the fire department. So enjoy the feeling that "mud" season (one of many) is slowly disappearing and soon DS Road will have many, many cars and the warmth of the weather and the huge "valley" support of the GPVFD is fast approaching.Deb Trotter Website info at-- Monday, Dec. 17, '07 - Glade Park Bible Church will be presenting a candlelight service Christmas Eve (Dec 24) at 7pm.Everyone is invited to attend! Ron, Good to hear from you again. I would have to go to school on how to connect a webcam to my site, and of course get permission to put it in. Do any of you out there have an opinion about putting a webcam at the store or at the Community building and Post Office? Thursday, December 12 - I was just looking at your Glade-Park website. Very comprehensive. Nice job.I happen to know it takes a lot of work, so hats off to you! It's terrific to have the Glade Park authors / writers on the site. I'm OK with whatever you would want to do with Colorado by the Numbers, although the books are completely sold out, so I wouldn't be able to do anything if somebody was interested and contacted me about getting one. I am updating the book for a second edition, but don't expect that out until next summer,and in fact may change directions and go digital, meaning the content will be on the internet and not on paper. At any rate, you can get a taste of Colorado by the Numbers atColoradobythenumbers.com, which is basically a collection of theintroductions to each chapter. Good luck with the website. Let me know if I can be of assistance. A forum is a place where each speaker is responsible for his/her own statements, which is what makes it interesting!
