People

: Robert St. James; A Grand Junction, Colorado radio DJ who was known for his elaborate jokes on air at KEXO AM. He was a contemporary DJ of Reford Theobold in the 1970’s, and continued in the vein of the Theobold, who often told jokes about his hometown of Loma. In one on-air joke St. James apparently told, he described how the farmers of Loma all hitched their tractors to the land and moved the entire city of Loma several feet in order to escape a flood. He retired from radio after a forty-year career in 2013, with stretches at KQIL, KQIX, KSTR, KKNN (95 Rock) and KMOZ (The Moose). *Some information comes from the article "'I've loved every minute' DJ St. John retires" (Daily Sentinel, September 13, 2013)

: Robert T. Anderson; Father of Walter Anderson. Settler of Whitewater area. Friend of John Otto.

: Robert Thompson III; Student at Colorado Christian University, graduated May, 2015.

: Robert Tully; Most of Robert Tully’s contemporary sculpture is designed for a specific landscape. His ideas come partly from the feel of the place and its shapes and surroundings. Although a focal point, the sculpture is meant to be seamless to its surroundings, often hard to tell where one ends and the other begins, so that the sculpture draws meaning, roots and potency from the landscape. Natural settings are seen as reconnecting. Materials are used for their voices. Stone is like an archeological, geological memory, a symbol of nature as human nature, and stainless steel is a technology we mix with nature. It is conceptual art with a place, in that the viewer can connect elements to realize the overall meaning. He has completed 26 large public artworks and numerous private commissions. Among his local public works are a gateway sculpture to Colorado State University, a bus stop at 28th & Arapahoe in Boulder, six artworks along the St. Vrain Greenway in Longmont, a memorial bench landscape in North Boulder Park and a playground at the Children’s Museum in Denver.
