Telluride’s Farewell to Captain Jack Carey, July 25, 2009

Telluride turned out in force to say goodbye to a beloved friend today. It may have rained in Town Park, but the hang gliders and parachuters flew, and the whole town was there to share stories, tell about long-ago meetings, of findings and leavings.

Jack, you were the face of Telluride for so many. And Monica, we can only hope that the outpouring of love will help you through the difficult times ahead. Among the beautiful and heart-felt comments by friends and relations, the most beautiful tribute was yours.
