aint Patrick’s Day. Fourth of July. Halloween. For any day of the year, John Tracy had an appropriate tie. “He has hundreds of ties, none of them traditional. Multiple ties for every holiday and occasion,” said Audrey Brooks, the business manager for Colorado Community Media, the publishing company for the Golden Transcript, who met Tracy when she started with the company in August 2004. “I remember about 10 years ago, he was trying to clean out some old ties so he’d have room in his closet for more.” SEE TRACY, P4
