Watering Hole Secrets

MARK LEWICKI’S FAVORITE FISHING EXPERIENCES The Broadmoor’s Fly Fishing Camp on the Tarryall River. Working in luxury hospitality for 16 years, I know the best when I experience it. It is world class, private trout fishing with rustic, luxury lodging within 90 minutes of Denver. I took two groups of my members in 2019.

The Madison and Gallatin River Fishing Trip with my Dad. It’s truly Big Sky Country. It’s remote and unbelievably beautiful, but easily accessible with some of the best, Blue Ribbon dry fly trout fishing I’ve ever experienced.

Big Hunting Creek outside Thurmont, MD. It’s a small, fly fishing only freestone stream near Camp David and Cunningham Falls where I taught myself to fly fish. It’s also where many presidents have dropped a line.

DIRECTIONS Mix all ingredients together, crushing with your hands.

Portion Meat into 3.5-4 oz balls, place the meat between 2 pieces of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin roll out the meat into thin ¼ inch thick rounds. Place ½ a cup of cheese in the center of one round and top with another round of meat. Fold sides up and seal the cheese inside.

This burger is cooked best in an iron skillet or flat top grill. Cook until cheese is hot and melty on the inside. Top with your favorite bacon, grilled onions and a slice of cheddar cheese. Serve on a brioche bun with lettuce and tomato or your favorite burger toppings.

Jon C. Boesen

IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE A DIFFERENT JOB IN A DIFFERENT INDUSTRY WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY? I would choose to be a professional fishing guide. I love the outdoors and would spend more time in some of the beautiful places in Colorado while helping others learn and experience the joy of fishing.

As the managing attorney for our firm, every day brings new challenges and goals to accomplish on behalf of our clients. One day I can be talking to a prospective client, discovering facts, talking with witnesses and gathering evidence to support the case. The next day I may be in court watching or participating in one of our cases.

I decided to become a lawyer during my senior year at Oklahoma State when I was president of our fraternity. Some freshmen members got into some legal trouble and a local attorney was our chapter advisor. He directed me in the representation of our freshman members and I did the research, writing and some of the legal arguments that eventually turned out well. I was hooked and went to law school at the University of Oklahoma.

HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN A BALANCED LIFE? HOW DO YOU DISCONNECT FROM WORK? My beautiful, intelligent and strong wife, Kelly Mae, and our four children have given me many reasons to come home early and not fall into the workaholic trap, which is a very common problem in the legal field. I disconnect with long three day weekends with my wife and try to spend as much time with our kids, even now with them

I had the honor of serving as the principal of Leman Academy for one year before the school opened in Parker. My family and I lived in Tucson where I trained on the job.

handshake with eye contact. I love being able to observe our teachers the day, I wear one of the silly hats our community has donated to my collection and I enjoy waving at everyone as I do my crosswalk duty.

HOW DOES YOUR WORK TIE INTO YOUR PASSIONS IN LIFE? So much of the pain in our community and in this world is the result of broken homes. Education gives us the opportunity to partner with supportive parents. Through great schools, we have the chance to be there for kids who might otherwise take a very different path in life.

The stronger we bring up this generation of students, the stronger will be the social fabric of our community tomorrow.

IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE A JOB IN A DIFFERENT INDUSTRY WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY? I'm too over the hill to dream about being a professional soccer player or mountain biker. I have grown so much by reading great books. If I could develop the skills, I might try my hand at writing.

WHAT DO YOU DO TO MAINTAIN A BALANCED LIFE? HOW DO YOU DISCONNECT FROM WORK? I love playing backyard soccer with my two sons, eating cupcakes that my daughter made in the sandbox, cooking with my wife, and playing the guitar or reading a great book aloud to my family.

WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU LOOK FORWARD TO DOING AGAIN? I really miss seeing the school building full of life and sounds and smells. Those dear scholars, dedicated staff and encouraging families bring such joy. I can't wait to be with this precious community again!
