Re: “Falling dominoes? The former president’s lawyers are going down. Is he?” Oct. 29 commentary

A former Colorado attorney, Jenna Ellis, pleaded guilty to a felony; however, that does not bar her from practicing law in Colorado.

Unbelievab­le! I wonder how many lawyer felons we have practicing law in Colorado?

I was moved to read Anna Stout’s compelling and heartfelt call in The Denver Post to preserve the Dolores River Canyon Country as a national monument. It resonated deeply with me, as a boater who has floated the Dolores, and, I suspect, anyone who values the natural beauty of our state.

For your readers who have not had the profound privilege of exploring the canyon country surroundin­g the Dolores River in western Colorado, I heartily recommend it. The landscape spans some of our most biological­ly and culturally rich public lands and offers unparallel­ed outdoor recreation opportunit­ies. It is a place that reminds us of what unites us as Coloradans, of those shared values that transcend political and cultural difference­s.

I join Stout, Grand Junction mayor, in urging Colorado Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenloop­er, Gov. Jared Polis, and other elected officials to come together to see the Dolores River Canyon Country protected as a national monument. Let’s get it done. of the recipes and food stories The Post has published over the years, particular­ly since the pandemic started. I personally have zero interest in, for example, the sports section, and some days that is plural, but I do not begrudge it being available to all those who devour it. By comparison, the food section is published only one day a week.

So please, keep those stories and recipes coming for those of us who read them.
