We remember Leila Morrison who lived in Windsor. She treated soldiers on the frontlines of World War II and saw the horrors of concentration camps. She reflects on the high cost of freedom. She passed away July 16, just a week after her 100th birthday. Later, the Colorado Theatre Guild applauds the creative effort to bring the legacy of Rattlesnake Kate to the stage.
