This year’s Aspinall Water Leader of the Year Award goes to: Harold Miskel. He had a long career with Colorado Springs Utilities. He currently is on the board of the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District but plans to retire from the board soon.
Greg Hobbs sent me his invocation from today’s Aspinall Award Luncheon via email:
May we please bow our heads as we pray for our dear friend,
Diane Hoppe, Aspinall Award winner who is in the hospital today,As we gather today in each other’s good company
to share the abundance of all gifts we receive,
this food we eat, this water we drink, this conversation
we generate through the labor and fruit
of the commitment of others.May the story of our lives continue to invigorate the Colorado
we inherit, love, and bequeath. In the open space of
opportunity, may we learn to practice grace and respect,
with self-correcting wit and humility in our slips and fallsRighting the wrongs we do unto others and celebrating
another chance to engage in what we may and what we will.Lord, we thank you.
