Livin' the Dream: An Aspen Writer Reflects on 50 Years in the Elk Range
Join us for a talk with local author Paul Andersen, most notably known for his book "The Town That Said Hell No", a story of a rural Colorado community under siege by AMAX, a huge international mining corporation. Paul will also read an excerpt of his book "Moonlight Over Pearl: Ten Stories from Aspen". There will be time for questions at the end.
Paul has been a professional writer for 45 years. He writes books and feature articles for regional magazines, screenplays and scripts for film and documentaries. He has been a columnist and contributing writer with the Aspen Times for 36 years. Paul’s reflections entail 15 years in Crested Butte where he worked as a newspaper editor, then almost 40 years as an Aspen Times writer, book author, Aspen Institute seminar moderator and guide, and founder of Huts For Vets, a non-profit that serves veterans in the wilderness at the 10th Mountain Huts of Aspen.
