You will find within these pages a record of the year as we kept it: the things added to the household, the threats we watched for and, in most cases, did not have to meet. Aspen will be remembered for the May fire that came within seven miles of Red Mountain and turned away on a wind shift; we kept the boards in the truck for a week afterward, as a courtesy to the next storm.
Catherine's work with the Cleveland Clinic Foundation continued to reshape the trust architecture, and Article VII was revised twice — once in March, once in November. Elise's junior year passed without incident; we expect more of the same as she begins her senior year. Jonathan begins college this fall.
It has been our privilege, again, to be of service. Thank you for trusting us with what is most yours.
