People

: Robert Sewell; Son of Charles Sewell and Clara (Thompson) Sewell, pioneers in the Thompson Creek area. Husband of Nellie (Snyder) Sewell. Sheep and cattle rancher. Private in U.S. Army during World War I.

: Robert St. James; A Grand Junction, Colorado radio DJ who was known for his elaborate jokes on air at KEXO AM. He was a contemporary DJ of Reford Theobold in the 1970’s, and continued in the vein of the Theobold, who often told jokes about his hometown of Loma. In one on-air joke St. James apparently told, he described how the farmers of Loma all hitched their tractors to the land and moved the entire city of Loma several feet in order to escape a flood. He retired from radio after a forty-year career in 2013, with stretches at KQIL, KQIX, KSTR, KKNN (95 Rock) and KMOZ (The Moose). *Some information comes from the article "'I've loved every minute' DJ St. John retires" (Daily Sentinel, September 13, 2013)
