My girlfriends sister went to school with Dick Lamm's kids in the 1970s and they had a graduation party at the governors mansion! Last tour we were on Bill Owens was the gov. and his family lived there and the private quarters were off limits to tour goers. An old boyfriend from my youth had a mom who dated gov. John Love back in the 60s! Ha Ha! Telling my age! My late MIL went to school with former gov. Roy Romer! My MIL was the school valedictorian! Enough said! Ha Ha!<br />The home is magnificent. I worked in politics right out of high school and I am not a fan of any of them!<br />If I am not mistaken I believe Hickey is the 50th governor of our fine state!Annesphamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355786666073982088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-67928845851604018372011-12-24T03:36:57.377-05:002011-12-24T03:36:57.377-05:00Wishing You and your famiy a Very Merry Christmas ...Wishing You and your famiy a Very Merry Christmas Pat.

I just wish I had gotten here earlier so I could have had my six month stay.<br /><br />As always your tour through the Colorado Governor's Mansion, in all its holiday splendor, was just wonderful.
