 An unexpected surprise... 
At about 2:30pm on Memorial Day, while I was up in a remote area, near Sugarloaf Mountain, in the Boulder Canyon, I received a text message from Tom Mustin of Denver's ABC Channel 7 News.  He wanted to interview me about Flag Steward and its iHonor Flag program for the Ch. 7 News broadcast at 10pm.  I scrambled down from Boulder Canyon and met Tom at the studio around 5:30pm.  The resulting news interview is below...
