On the surface it is a plain Jane\, but so much more lies beneath it’s quiet facade. \nHear the fascinating history of this original Landscaping Business owners and builder-Matthew Plews and Family. Over the years the property was sold to local gangster family Smiling Charlie\, and then to the manufacturing family of the Eberhardts. Johnny Bowen and family obtained the land\, and promptly named it The Fly’n B\, as the Bowens had airplanes and runways on the property.

He has been responsible for compliance with the stormwater permit since 2004.  And most importantly for this talk\, Forrest knew and interacted many times over the years with the Bowen family\, the last family to own the Fly’n B property. Forrest has lived in Highlands Ranch since 1982 when he married his wife Diane and has seen the community grow from a few thousand people to where it is today. He received a BA degree from Central College\, Iowa with a major in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. He also received a MS degree from Stanford University in Petroleum Engineering.
