Who We Are?

Laura Donavan (formerly Laura Reinhold..18 years ago) is a model citizen and the mother of our two strong, good-looking and breathtaking boys. Born in the kitschy space coast town of Cocoa, Florida, Laura attended FSU in Tampa. But, this clean-living orange juice dream was short-lived, and for this I am eternally thankful. She moved west to attend art school where we met the first day of the first class; drafting. I however grew up in Madison, Wisconsin, a lovely lil' college town in an island of rolling, green, cow-studded hamlets. Growing up behind the cheddar curtain was a confusing experience: At once I felt centered and grounded in a relaxed workaholic state with radio-English and Keeleresque tendencies, but the Wild Western village of L.A. also called. Though, it was a degree at The Colorado Institute of Art and Laura's as yet unforeseen homespun surf-nature that inspired a high-speed drift to Colorado. After school, we sparred at competing advertising agencies in Jackson, Wyoming for a few years and eventually got hitched. This was in 1990. A decade in Northwest Montana and two chitlens later we moved south to our current sunny and super-hi-def location; Salida, Colorado. Surrounded by some of the largest peaks in the lower 48, our boys; Riley and Shea thrive in the paradise that is the Arkansas River Valley. That's our story ..for now. I'm super-fortunate and I'm turning all this positive juju loose.

The Salida Citizen!

In 2008 we bought an old building in downtown Salida (Colorado's largest historic district). This turn o' the century box makes us feel Victorian. (I have started dressing Victorian. Laura's new name is Victoria). This place will be the home for our community journalism project; The Salida Citizen. We fixed it up and will be basing global operations for saving the world in this hideout. The citizen is just the beginning. Are you ready to join? The conference room is all glass, and tech as can be. The stereo system bumps and thanks to Tim K's consult and PV panels, the meter will be running backwards while the in-floor heat warms our toes. My friend Sam will be running his TV station and multi-media ops from here, so we brought in fiber optic cable to communicate something special. These shots show our current status, but there is much to be done yet. Wanna live in Salida? Do you have something to add to the dialog?
