Maybe the stories were extra timely. Maybe everybody loves apples. Maybe it was chance.
Whatever the reason, we received a flood of reader responses to the fall Coloradan.
They were conspicuously thoughtful and spirited, so we’ve included an extra page of letters in this issue. Many still couldn’t fit. You’ll find more here.
If any story struck readers’ fancy, it was Trent Knoss’ tale of the Boulder Apple Tree Project, a faculty-led endeavor to preserve the genes of Boulder’s vanishing heirloom apple trees. By now, reader reports of fecund ancient trees have been coming in for months.
Our photo of a 1978 Eagles concert at Folsom Field inspired numerous colorful tales of campus concerts past. And Lisa Marshall’s (Jour, PolSci’94) piece about chronic pain research prompted some readers to describe their own successful battles with pain — or to ask for help.
I hope you enjoy this issue as much as the last.
