Copper mountian free#
I have many projects which have been sitting on the back burner of my wood stove waiting patiently for this free time to arrive for many years and arrive it finally has. I will keep the website and use it for my own writings, songs I’ve composed, Journal, books I have written which I used Copper Mountain Mesa as a setting for my characters (six books so far).
The Archives on my website will remain current up to this date and no more will be posted there this will give the new website access to them. I have found there is a new website that kinda duplicates my own hosted by Teresa and Ken Sitz at CopperMountainMesa.ORG who I believe can do a wonderful job of taking over the responsibilities of keeping “Our Little Community” informed throughout the next fifteen years and into the future. The past few years I have grown mighty weary of the responsibility of doing these weekly updates and until this day I was looking for someone responsible to take over.
I have kept updating the website without fail since Annelies Kuiper took over writing the column for me in February 2011. I created and have faithfully been running the website for many years since the beginning of November 1999 and haven’t missed writing one column for over a decade it was a labor of love to me for many years.
