THE{FULL}LIFE
TOUCHMARK ON SADDLE DRIVE
Learning about ghost towns with author
Author Preethi Burkholder spoke about her book,
Ghost Towns of the Rockies, and the historical
events and circumstances that created the ghost
towns.
“When the money ran out, people walked,” shared
Burkholder. “A ghost town is one that had a boom
period at one point and was then abandoned.”
She called these abandonments “death” for the
towns and classified them as either natural (due to
flood, fire, or drought) or economic, such as with
mining busts and related job losses. Most of the
towns covered in Burkholder’s book experienced
economic downturns in the mining industry of
gold, silver, coal, and copper.
Residents listened to author Preethi Burkholder discuss her book, Ghost Towns of the Rockies, and the
historical events and circumstances that created the ghost towns. The presentation also included piano
music, as Preethi is a classically trained pianist and holds a master’s degree in ethnomusicology from
Tufts University.

Connecting the Generations
What’s the best thing about being a grandparent? Or what is
your best memory of/with a grandparent/grandchild?
Marge Coalman, EdD
Vice President of
Wellness & Programs
Not all of us are grandparents or great-grandparents—but all
of us are grandchildren. At some time in our lives, we were
able to experience the opportunity to know—or know of—our
family history. ...
Touchmark’s intergenerational program provides
opportunities to connect with children of all ages through
activities and celebrations, both at Touchmark and in other
settings within the community. ...
