Since the 1930s to honor the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln. And this year we have a special opportunity to hear from an extraordinary speaker. And in introducing him i would like to repeat something that he said at the First National Republican Convention that he attended as a young man in 1884. He was part of a reform wing of the Republican Party, and they had an insurgent candidate to be temporary chair of the convention, taking on the candidacy of the Republican National committee.

Wilson signed the legislation rating the Rocky Mountain National Park. Five days earlier on january 20th, with the enabling legislation finally through congress, the cartoon on the screen behind me appeared in the denver post. It shows e nos mills shaking hands with goddess colorado who is saying, enos, im proud of you. Looking on from the background, Two Mountains join in. Enos, im proud of you, says one. The other replies, i always knew you were all right. Further compliments followed and within a matter of months, enos mills was being hailed as the father of Rocky Mountain National Park, a title that mills himself would soon appropriate in his own writings. That title has followed mills from his time to our own. To cite the most obvious public example, that title graces the pedestal of the bronze life size statue of mills and his Border Collie scotch that since 2003 has stood in the corner of bond park in downtown estes park. An inscription reads enos a. Mills, the father of Rocky M
