Kathy Heicher is an award-winning journalist who has worked as a reporter for various Eagle County newspapers for over forty years. She also edited theEagle Valley Enterpriseweekly newspaper for a dozen of those years. Her newspaper assignments and interviews have taken her to the far corners of Eagle County and prompted her interest in local history. These days, when she is not searching through the local history archives, she generally can be found hiking, snowshoeing or quilting. She has served as president of the Eagle County Historical Society for the past ten years, working with that organization to gather and document community histories and present cemetery tours, local history programs and other special events. Kathy holds a degree in journalism from Colorado State University. She and her husband, Bill, live in Eagle.
