We attended a farewell mass and dinner tonight for our parish priest, Monsignor George Schroeder, who is moving to a new post in Denver.
Father George is a new friend - we've only known him a little over a year - but he feels like an old friend and we'll miss him.
Notwithstanding the fact that he's been in Steamboat for 12 years and is well loved, the fact that his departure made the front page of our local newspaper recently is proof that this really is still a small town where everybody knows everybody and what they're doing. We wouldn't have it any other way.
