Dear Editor: I would like to express my gratitude for the remarkable act of kindness demonstrated by Jay and Jackie Lauderdale, and Cat and Barthold Lichtenbelt in making a nearly one-million-dollar donation toward the purchase of the Swiss Village Mobile Home Park. For months, the possibility that this property could be sold—displacing many of our neighbors—weighed heavily on Ouray as a whole, especially on the residents of Swiss Village. Thanks to these compassionate individuals, we now see firsthand what a united effort can accomplish when it stands by those who help make our town so special.
