Many hands make light work. Vi Brown has two very busy hands that continue to have a huge impact on how the Vail community was built.
She and her late husband, Byron, moved to Vail in 1964 from Denver and never stopped moving.
Those few dozen people who were already in Vail remember the Browns arriving with young son Mike in tow to West Vail, where only about five homes were built. Byron had gotten a job working for a Denver-based real estate company selling lots in Vail.
“They needed someone to move to Vail and finish building a house, so Byron and Vi decided to plant roots here,” Mike Brown said.
