Postponed … Again

By Faith Meckley, Staff Writer • February 21, 2015

I described to him the beauty of Colorado, the physical challenge of walking 15 to 20 miles each day and the incredible new family I had acquired in the Marchers. I ended the letter by begging him to come out and see it for himself.
