“Overwhelming,” Kathy Sizemore said of the community support given to her family at the second annual “I Ride With James” Poker/Fun ride held last Sunday, where a Polaris youth snowmobile was given away to Kevin Brown, who pulled a royal flush for the best hand for the grand prize enjoyed by his grandkids Kael and his sister Jayden Overton-Linsacum. 
Kathy and her husband Mike lost their son James “on the mountain” two years ago and since have organized events to raise funds benefiting the local Rio Blanco County Search and Rescue and two scholarships for a local boy and girl planning to attend a trade school. “They don’t fill out an application because James’ sister Abigail told me James would never fill one out,” Kathy said with a smile. Kathy’s mother Lorraine Graham attended the poker run and Kathy is pictured with her brothers Greg, Kevin and Robbie. Greg Graham traveled from Austin, Texas, to attend the event while Kevin and Robbie came from Colorado Springs with their mother in support.
