Zucchini-ed Out

Ancient times.  My first round of columning for the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel came way back in the eighties.  We were a family of five, three daughters, Jan and I living at 1^st and Patterson in Grand Junction.   

I was earning a living traveling the West as a manufacturers representative to the broadcasting industry.  Jan was an itinerant speech therapist for what was then called Hilltop House, today it’s Hilltop Rehabilitation. 

Today all three daughters are married and living in the Denver area with families of their own.  If I had known life was going to turn out as well as it did my outlook would certainly have been a wee bit more mellow.  Back then their future, college, marriage and families never entered the mind, I just wondered if they’d ever get through West Middle School.
