- "A surprise birthday dinner was held at the Spring Creek Chalet on Oct. 15, 1993, in honor of Robert Alexander's 98th birthday, according to a family spokesperson. Those in attendance were his seven children, their wives. and husbands, and two granddaughters: Karen Alexander of Grand Junction; Terrie Andrews, her husband David, and two daughters: Kerri and Lacy, of Norwood; grandson Frank Kinion, of Montrose; Don and Betty Andrews, of Nucla; Louise Carpenter, Jessie AF , drich, of Montrose; Dick and Virginia Stoddard, a niece, from Grand Junction; and the residents and staff of the Chalet. Alexander came to Montrose in June of 1913 and his first job was putting up hay on the Ralph Smith ranch in for Colona. That fall he picked apples for Ashenfelter and spuds for Farris. He went to Telluride in 1916 and worked on a dairy where he met his wife, Oda Collins. They were married on Sept. 1, 1917, and had celebrated 72 years of marriage before Mrs. Alexanders died the next June. They ran a dairy until 1928 in Telluride before going into the sheep business and moving to Norwood in 1935. The Alexanders were in the sheep ranching business until they sold out in 1967 to their son, Kirk; who still runs the business. The Alexanders traveled through Europe, Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico, and most of the U.S.A. Alexander now resides at the Spring Creek Chalet where he has made his home since December of 1990." --Taken from an unidentified newspaper article, found in Bob & Oda Alexander's oral history folder, located in the Wilkinson Public Library, in the Telluride Room.
