Winner of the 2005 Colorado Authors’ League Award for Nonfiction. Written over a span of thirty years, The Complete Half-Aspenite documents the period in Aspen between the coming of the Paepckes and the triumph of the developers, what might be called The Bohemian Years. Glitz is for outsiders; here is an account of music, physics, garage sales, a first stab at recycling, endemic birds, a waiter on acid, perils of the visiting writer and the institution of Lunch.
