Anne Beauvais recalls friendships and games from her childhood in Grand Junction’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. She talks about attending the Lincoln Park School and Grand Junction High School. She remembers spending summers at the Lincoln Park Pool, playing outside at night under the streetlamps, roller skating in the basement of her house, and skiing at the Mesa Creek Ski Area during the winter. She speaks about her engagement to Lester Beauvais, attending college with him in Boulder, and his job at a firm that manufactured hospital equipment in Illinois. The interview was conducted by the Mesa County Oral History Project, a collaboration of Mesa County Libraries and the Museums of Western Colorado.
