The Story Keeper : History of the Mace Family at Ashcroft

Dear Friends,
Finally after dreaming for years about doing this, and strategizing for the last six months, here is my first blog to coincide with the 69th anniversary of the Goethe Bicentennial in Aspen and the opening of Toklat Lodge and Husky Kennel at Ashcroft. I will do one every week for the following 52 weeks, meandering around the history of my remarkable family and business, until we celebrate big time on the 27th of June, 2019.

My father was an incredible story teller. I, on the other hand, have been the story keeper of the family ever since I can remember the thus the title of my blog. I start with a letter from Walter Paepcke, inviting my parents to be a part of his plans for Aspen. It is long and although I have retyped it, it is the original text.
