A KOTO Radio show, called Friday Live, that aired on July 9, 1982 in Telluride, Colorado. Jerry Greene interviews Dave Erickson, a Telluride business person. Dave discusses his background as an IBM salesman, and his purchase of the Timberline Hardware store in Telluride. Dave believes that if fair prices are offered, he will be able to sell to more local residents. Dave is also active in the county government and is the president of the Rotary Club. The possible airport is discussed, with Dave leaning towards wanting the airport to become a public airport. He believes this is the only way to provide transportation for convention people to come to Telluride and to increase tourism in Telluride, thus bettering the economy. Dave is also on the Telluride Film Festival fund raising committee and believes festivals will bring money to Telluride, too. The recording is about 30 minutes long.
