JonBenet was murdered in her family’s home in Boulder\, Colorado\, on Christmas night 1996. This presentation will share 20 of Detective Lou Smit’s original investigative slides which shows compelling evidence of an intruder. \nThis PowerPoint presentation includes evidence foreign to the crime scene. Also\, conclusive DNA evidence left on the body which excluded all members of the Ramsey family from being involved in the attempted kidnapping and murder. \nABOUT OUR SPEAKER:  JOHN WESLEY ANDERSON\nJohn Wesley Anderson\, MBA\, is an author\, TEDx speaker\, and recipient of the 2022 Golden Quill Award presented by the Friends of the Pikes Peak Library District.

After being term-limited as Sheriff John worked homeland and corporate security for 10 years for Lockheed Martin. He retired in 2012 to pursue his passions for history\, writing\, and the arts. \nAlthough John has traveled around the world\, including several adventures on a catamaran sailing the Caribbean\, three corporate security assignments into a combat zone on the Horn of Africa\, and landing on an aircraft carrier at sea in the Pacific Ocean\, he remains most fascinated by the rich history and art discovered in his own backyard in the American Southwest. \nThe book Lou and JonBenet will be available for purchase (as well as some of his other books).   Checks and cash only. \nOr it can be purchased in advance in hardcover\, softcover\, eBook\, or audiobook online at www.Amazon.com.

SUMMARY:Program:  A Fun Evening with Erma Bombeck
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 21\, 2024\nDoors Open at 6:30 pm\nEnjoy complimentary refreshments and browse our partner tables before the program.\nProgram  7:00-8:30 pm\nSouthridge Recreation Center\n4800 McArthur Ranch Road\, Highlands Ranch\n$5 Donation Suggested at Door for non-HRHS members\n\nThree days a week in over 900 papers across the country\, Erma Bombeck’s column At Wit’s End captured the ups and downs of a new American phenomenon\, the suburban housewife.\nFiguring you had to be able to laugh at life to get through it\, Ms. Bomback brought to American awareness the struggles of women whose lives otherwise felt invisible and taken for granted. She let women across America know:\n“You are not alone. We number in the millions. I\, too\, am an American housewife\, and I will laugh by your side.”\n \nWe will find out how Erma got started as a humorist.  You will surely chuckle along as she pokes fun at kids\, husbands\, household appliances\, and especially herself.\nThis program includes a monologue in-character\, a Q&A “with Erma” and a Q&A with the scholar/presenter\, Susan Marie Frontczak.\nABOUT OUR PRESENTER:  SUSAN MARIE FRONTCZAK\nSusan Marie Frontczak has given over 875 Living History presentations as Marie Curie\, Mary Shelley\, Irene Castle\, Clara Barton\, Eleanor Roosevelt\, and Erma Bombeck across 43 of the United States. She also works with both students and adults to develop their own Living History presentations and is the author of the Young Chautauqua handbooks for Colorado Humanities.\n \nSusan Marie joins millions of Erma Bombeck fans in the U.S. and around the world in celebrating one of the 20th century’s most prolific writers and humorists. As a teen\, she competed with her mother to see which of them could snag the monthly Good Housekeeping magazine in order to be the first to read Erma Bombeck’s column.\nSusan Marie says the hardest part of presenting as Erma Bombeck is choosing what to include from a seemingly endless supply of priceless material. It is a puzzle she is glad to take on as none of her other characters have given her so much to laugh at along the way.

SUMMARY:Program: Rick Crandall and the Colorado Freedom Memorial --25 Years in the Making and More to Come
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, September 16\, 2024\nDoors Open at 6:30 pm\nEnjoy complimentary refreshments and browse our partner tables before the program.\nProgram  7:00-8:30 pm\nSouthridge Recreation Center\n4800 McArthur Ranch Road\, Highlands Ranch\n$5 Donation Suggested at Door for non-HRHS members\n \nOn May 30\, 2000\, Rick Crandall broadcast his morning radio show from the American Cemetery above Omaha Beach in Normandy\, France. After the four-hour program the equipment was packed up and the thank-yous were shared and then Rick took one last walk through the cemetery not realizing he would be carrying something home with him and it was something he couldn’t shake. \nFor the last 25 years the Colorado Freedom Memorial and Rick Crandall have been synonymous. What started as an idea after a radio broadcast from France has become one of the most unique military memorials in the country\, and it’s about to get bigger!    \n \nThis is the first memorial in America dedicated to ALL wars\, ALL branches of service and containing the names of all those who died from a single state in those wars.\n \nThe Colorado Freedom Memorial is located in Aurora\, Colorado near Buckley Air Force Base. Constructed of glass panels that reflect Colorado’s mountains and blue skies the Memorial holds the names of over 6\,000 Coloradans killed or missing in action. They are grouped by war\, but names will not be alphabetically listed. Much of the Colorado Freedom Memorial is meant to reflect the chaos of war\, including the shuffling of names. \n \nPRESENTER: RICK CRANDALL \n \nFor 30 years Rick was the host of the Breakfast Club on AM 1430\, KEZW and during that time built a close relationship with the veteran community. In 2012 Rick was named the Colorado Broadcaster of the Year for his work on the air and with numerous nonprofit organizations. It is\, though\, the Colorado Freedom Memorial that is closest to his heart.   \n  PARTNER TABLES AND EVENTS\n \nChristopher M. Falkel  American Legion Post 1260 Will be on hand to Present and Retire the Colors.  Post Commander Joe Langran will  give a brief update on the name change of the Highlands Ranch Post to the Christopher M. Falkel American Legion Post 1260.  \nThere will also be a table with information about the Highlands Ranch Veterans Monument.

Actually\, her life was much more impressive. \nSusan (as Molly Brown) will share her life\, her family\, her travels and her philanthropy. She was very involved in improving Denver and was constantly in the news.  She was definitely a woman ahead of her time. \nABOUT OUR PRESENTER:  SUSAN BUGBEE \n \n                                                                          Susan Bugbee as Jesse Benton Fremont (above)\nSusan Bugbee has always been interested in history\, finding truth “stranger than fiction “. She has traveled widely\, learning new things everywhere\, most recently in Croatia and Peru. \nSusan was a Montessori teacher\, public school substitute and private nanny. Her love of children and enthusiasm for history has led many young people to develop an interest in history. \nShe continues sharing her knowledge as a docent at the Cherokee Castle in Sedalia and at the Molly Brown House in Denver. Susan is also a performer with the Legendary Ladies. \n \nSPECIAL TOUR OF THE MOLLY BROWN HOUSE BY DOCENT SUSAN BUGBEE!! \nSusan will give a private tour of the Molly Brown House to 15 of our HRHS members!   Tentative Date:  Wednesday\, June 26.   Stay tuned for more information. \nBe sure to visit with our Program Sponsors before and after the presentation.   Specifics coming soon. \n

Will some lucky ladies in the front row get a scarf or a lei? The program concludes with a history of Elvis in Denver and Aaron will answer questions about ETA’s and Elvis trivia. Are you familiar with the Elvis sandwich? \n \nAaron Black has been performing his Award-Winning Tribute to Elvis for over 25 years. He has won two “Best-in-Show” awards at the Air Force Talent competitions and many other awards! Aaron has performed in two television commercials (one local\, one nation-wide) and in one radio commercial and was a finalist for a recent Apple nationwide commercial. \nThe 5 Elvis Suits that he currently wears are authentic $4000 recreations of Elvis’ most famous suits\, including the Aloha Eagle Jumpsuit worn in the Aloha From Hawaii TV Concert! These suits are created by some of the same people who created Elvis’ original suits and are licensed by Elvis’ estate and were also used in the new “Elvis” movie! He owns three of these Aloha Eagle jumpsuits\, two in white and a stunning black version as well! He also performs in the blue “Owl” suit as seen in the movie “Elvis on Tour” and the black\, gold and red “Matador” suit. No other Elvis Tribute Artist in Colorado has such an impressive collection of authentic suits! \nAaron always mixes a little humor and Elvis trivia into every hip-shaking show. He is often asked if he is lip-synching\, but it really is Aaron singing. He has even performed for two people who knew the real Elvis and both gave him high marks! \n \nAaron has always been an Elvis fan. As a child\, he saw Elvis perform live six times. He met his future wife the day after Elvis died when she asked him about the black armband he was wearing. They became best friends and were married several years later! \nBe sure to visit with our Partner Tables before and after the program! \n \n ..
