Suzanna Ray is the Granddaughter of Lawrence Phipps Jr, the last private owner of the Highlands Ranch Mansion and property. Suzanna and her family (the Young’s) were the original residents of what is now called the Chum Howe house, on the mansion grounds. Suzanna remembers what it was like to live on the mansion grounds as a young child, playing with her family and friends, and going to school nearby at the then new Plum Creek elementary school (now long gone under the waters of Chatfield dam and reservoir).
