Don Dennis managed the Spur Theater in La Veta in
the summer of 1958. He lived in a little cabin
on the banks of the Cuchara River and often fished
for his meals or ate at the local restaurant where
the kind proprietor learned he loved banana creme
pie, and always had some available for him.
In the summer of 1959 he worked for Charlie Masinton
in his stores, living in the La Veta Hotel and
eating with the Masinton family. He made so
many friends and continued to go back up to La Veta
to see the Masintons while he was in Pueblo college;
later he visited the boys at their college in
Boulder, the University of Colorado. La Veta
holds very special memories and Don and Ann have
gone back to visit several times.
