Fred E. Anderson, Public Affairs Consultant and former State Legislator, was the series' first honoree this year in Gunnison, Colorado. I have never thought of myself as a legend. I am certain that nobody here would quite go along with that one. This, of course, gives me a great deal of latitude in making this presentation. Now, you need to think about that a little bit, but let's look at what is going on today compared to the past.
Water is no different now than it was years ago at the time the Constitution was developed.
Water wars have been going in Colorado forever. I can remember working with my neighbor in all kinds of situations without any serious problems. For example, there was one time when my dog, along with several others, got into my neighbor's sheep pen and created havoc. All the other dogs ran, but mine stayed. This problem was resolved without any harsh words.
