Charles Forster, the former president of Buena Vistaâs Collegiate Peaks Bank, was a Salida resident, but his commitment to the townâs businesses and community outreach affected the Buena Vista area as well.
âHe certainly had his eye out for the community up here,â said Joel Benson, who worked with Forster while he was Buena Vistaâs mayor. âHe was just a brainstormer. He was always trying to come up with a way to help contribute economically to the northern end (of Chaffee County), and the whole county. He was always trying to think of ways to make things work for the good of town.â
