Getting to work in an environment where you feel recognized and supported is truly special. Many of you might not know this, but Mike often shared this humble publication with others throughout the County. Supervisor District offices, County Management, neighbors here on the Durango Campus, departments far and wide… His pride in the District runs deep, and he never missed the opportunity to shine a light on our accomplishments and showcase the best of who we are.
Mike supported us when we took creative risks and encouraged us to find levity in the day-to-day. He was generous with his time and often said ‘Yes’ to things he knew would mean having a bit of fun at his expense. Conversely, Mike rarely said ‘No’ to a chance to let us tell the District’s story.
He pushed us to focus more on the people that do the work.
To remind ourselves and others of the importance of taking care of what we already own.
To explain how what we do matters to people and how our work actually saves lives.
To look back and appreciate the tangible fruits of our labor (a bonus for a photo newsletter!).
To honor the things that make the District, the District.
Saying ‘Goodbye is never easy… Worry not, Mr. Fulton. We know you will miss us terribly so you have been granted the rare honor of a lifetime subscription to This Week in Photos. As for us, we are going to miss our Audience of One.

“We spent hours talking under the Germann Rd Bridge at the EMF. At first glance they appeared to be, what I thought, an ostrich. But Chuck and his younger brother UpChuck cleared up the confusion stating they were Great Horned Owls.”
