“Colleen and I really like the character of the Rangely community,” he said. “We enjoy the people and have found the community to be warm and accepting of one another. The people here work very well together to advance the community.”
Of special events in their lives, Peter said, “We’ve lived in lots of different communities due to my being in government service. We have been able to see a good part of the country and experience various lifestyles, traditions and special events in different parts of the country.”
