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.

She will be discussing the possibility of deep CIA coverups\, MKUltra’s LSD mind control programs\, sonic and ultrasonic frequency non-lethal military warfare\, as well as “talking” laser plasma balls and much more.\nAre the phenomena experienced and their UFO/paranormal related\, or is it all a ruse intended to distract from the nefarious activities conducted there\, or both?\nThe Rocky Mountain  Ranch was investigated by the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization and others in the 1970’s but the activity continues to this day! It is the location of the biggest remote viewing project ever conducted\, (even by the CIA and DIA).  Many strange activities experienced on the ranch will be shared in this PowerPoint presentation.\nNewspaper headlines dubbed the ranch the “Close Encounter Capital of the US”.  Rocky Mountain Ranch has been written about in several books.

In UFO folklore it was known as the “Clearview” Ranch\, and pre-dates the infamous “Skinwalker Ranch” by over a decade. This is what motivated her interest in ufology\, to find answers to her experiences\, and to try and uncover the truth as to what was happening there.\nSee her on History Channel’s Beyond Skinwalker\, UFO Witness\, Gaia’s Beyond Belief\, Ancient Aliens\, Small Town Monsters\, On the Trail of UFO’s Night Visitors\, and the film Accidental Truth.\nKatie\, who has a Bachelor of Science in Visual Communication\, conducts independent investigations and research through her Rocky Mountain Ranch Research foundation.

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

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!

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 ..

SUMMARY:Program: UFOs and the Navajo Rangers ----- Paranormal Cases From the Navajo Nation
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 16\, 2023\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$3 Donation Suggested at Door for non-HRHS members\n \nPresenters:  \nJonathan Dover\, Ranger Lieutenant (Ret.) and Stanley Milford Jr. Ranger Sergeant (Ret.)\nThis presentation will cover paranormal investigations that were conducted by Jonathan Dover and Stanley Milford Jr. during an 11 year span within Navajo Nation lands located in Arizona\, New Mexico\, and Utah. These include cases involving UFO’s\, Bigfoot\, Hauntings\, and Navajo Skinwalkers. These inexplicable cases were meticulously investigated with a scrutiny that is unheard of these days. During their careers Jonathan and Stanley were exposed to some of the most unbelievable phenomenon known to man. This is a land of rugged beauty\, deep legend\, and mystery where it seems anything can happen on any given day. \nPresenter:  Jonathan Redbird Dover\nJonathan Dover is a veteran law enforcement officer.  He has worked with the City of Winslow Arizona Police Department\, The National Park Service\, Navajo Historic Preservation Department\, and the Navajo Nation Rangers.  He retired from active duty as a Lieutenant in 2011 after 31 years.  Jonathan Dover attended the 6-month Navajo Nation Police Academy and graduated with the Marksmanship award\, the Academic Achievement award\, and the Outstanding Cadet award.  He further trained at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Criminal Investigations.  Jonathan Dover has over 4\,000 hours of law enforcement and weapons training. \nThe Navajo Nation Rangers are tasked with Natural Resource Law Enforcement in the areas of Forestry\, Fish and Wildlife\, Mines\, Minerals\, Parks and Recreation areas\, Archaeology\, Cultural Resources\, Agriculture\, Police work\, and Search and Rescue. \nJonathan Dover was trained as a specialist in Archaeological Resource Crimes Investigations and was one of only two persons doing those investigations in the western United States.  He was also trained as a licensed EMT-Basic\, in SWAT tactical operations\, Hazardous materials operational first responder\, Search and Rescue\, Technical accident investigation\, computer forensics\, and was an instructor in Police Firearms training and High Angle Technical Rescue. He was the Co-Commander of the Ranger Tactical team and an adjunct instructor for several classes at Gunsite Academy. \nDuring his work on Navajo Nation lands\, along with his regular duties\, he along with Stanley Milford Jr. were assigned over a period of 11 years to officially investigate and document significant cases involving Bigfoot\, Hauntings\, Navajo Witchcraft\, and UFO’s. \nJonathan Dover on his off-time dances at Native American Pow Wows\, and in the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma Blackfoot Society (Warrior Society).  He has played guitar for 45 years\, and is a fly fisherman. \nJonathan Dover is Navajo\, Southern Cheyenne\, Apache Tribe of Oklahoma (Kiowa-Apache) and Filipino. \nPRESENTER: Stanley Milford Jr.\n \nStanley Milford Jr. spent most of his childhood growing up between rural Oklahoma and the Navajo Reservation. He lived and went to school in Oklahoma\, but would spend many summers on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. He graduated High School in Oklahoma and later graduated from Haskell Indian Junior College located in Kansas. Stan also attended Fort Lewis College in Colorado and the University of Arizona in Tucson\, Arizona. It was while he was at Tucson that he was asked to come back to the Navajo Nation and work as a Navajo Ranger. Stan graduated the United States Indian Police Academy (IPA) at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Artesia\, New Mexico and then worked continuously as a sworn law enforcement Ranger for over twenty-three (23) years. \nStan served as a Ranger Recruit\, a Ranger and Ranger Sergeant. It was while working as a Sergeant he worked directly with the Chief Ranger in the command section of the department. Stan later served as the Delegated Chief Navajo Ranger for over two (2) years\, through March of 2019. Stan served as a department firearm instructor\, Team Leader for the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team charged to oversee all special operations. He was also commissioned as a Navajo Police Officer to work as a team member with the Navajo Police’s Drug and Gang Task Force. \nOne of Stan’s unique responsibilities was overseeing a section called the “Special Projects Unit (SPU)”. It was within this section that Stan worked with Jonathan Dover (Ret. Lieutenant). This section’s primary role was managing cases and projects that were deemed critical\, sensitive or high profile in nature. These cases could be anything from high priority investigations\, dignitary protection\, high risk detail\, SWAT or other emergency operations. One of the responsibilities of that unit was the investigation of cases that did not fit within everyday parameters of law enforcement or criminal investigation. Enter the “paranormal or supernatural” i.e. cases involving Bigfoot\, UFOs\, Extraterrestrials\, witchcraft\, skinwalkers\, ghosts and hauntings. It should be known that these cases were about 1% of the total of cases that were investigated by the SPU each year. \nIn 2021 Stan decided he needed a change\, he had served over twenty-three years as a Navajo Ranger and he had accomplished what he had originally set out to do in law enforcement. \nStanley and Jonathan have been involved with the History Channel’s Skinwalker Ranch and Beyond Skinwalker. \nGuest Business:  MUFON\, Katie Paige \nKatie Paige has personal ties to a High Strangeness Ranch in Colorado. In UFO folklore it was known as the “Clearview” Ranch\, and pre-dates the infamous “Skinwalker Ranch’ by over a decade. This is what motivated her interest in ufology\, to find answers to all her experiences. \nKatie is Colorado MUFON’s State Director. She is a STAR Investigator for MUFON and is the team lead/administrator for MUFON’s MARRS Team. She’s the host of MUFON What’s Up Radio Broadcast on KGRADB.com along with her co hosts Shane Hurd and Tara Diulus. \nMost recently\, Katie can be seen on Travel Channels UFO Witness\, Gaia’s Beyond Belief with George Noory\, History Channel’s Ancient Aliens\, Small Town Monsters; On the Trail of UFO’s Night Visitors\, Ron James’s film Accidental Truth and History Channel’s new series Beyond Skinwalker. \nKatie also conducts independent investigations and research\, she has been a presenter at several conferences and has appeared on many radio shows and podcasts\, including Coast to Coast with George Knapp\, Spaced Out Radio\, UAP Studies Podcast\, and Coast to Coast’s Dark Becomes Light\, and many more. \nKatie is the author of; Letters of Love & Light – Four Decades of UFO Encounters\, Experiences & Sightings Shared with Ufologist R. Leo Sprinkle Ph.D. She is currently writing her second book: High Strangeness on a Colorado Ranch; The Colorado “Skinwalker” Ranch – Craft\, Cattle\, Copters\, Cryptids\, and Cover-Ups.
