Memories of Life in the Coolbaugh House 1700 Maple Street

摘要

My association with the house on Maple Street is a very personal one. As a first generation Canadian. distance, time and The Depression denied me the luxury of knowing my natural grandparents. When good fortune resulted in my rooming in the Coolbaugh home, Dr. Melville F. and Mrs. Coolbaugh filled a great void that lime and circumstances had denied me. "Mother'' Coolbaugh warmed any room by her very presence. Her knowledge of history of the. western plains Indians instilled in me a lifetime interest. It was with considerable reservation and concern that I first met Dr. Coolbaugh. even considering the fact I was a graduate student. The person whom 1 grew- to know and love was a man of infinite humor and wisdom. He expected the best from those he loved the most and this included not only his sons but also the students of the Colorado School of Mines.
