Amazing Discovery!

Salida, CO view map

I made a fascinating discovery searching the Internet looking for relatives. Emmett Killian was my Mother’s brother and my god-father. To my great surprise his name came up as being the architect of the Salida Colorado public golf course. Knowing that he had been a golf pro in his younger days, I stopped by that course last week and found a newspaper article (below) on the wall which confirmed that information! This shot is the Par 5, 525 yard 1st hole.

Gorgeous shot with the mountains in the distant. History is wonderful, isn't it?
