Barbie Business
I enjoyed your article on Barbie (December ’16). I teach business classes at Front Range Community College and plan to use this article for one of the critical thinking assignments, and as inspiration for my entrepreneurial students. Lori Juszak Front Range Business Department My three sisters and I grew up with Barbie but as many toys go, the dolls eventually were given away for others to enjoy. Even so, my younger sister started collecting intermittent holiday edition Barbies in 1984, and now proudly displays 28 in her home. I mailed her the article, which was a fun read and greatly appreciated. Agnes Eytchison, Durango Our first three children were girls and (remembering my “city” childhood) I bought dolls for them. I soon realized that all they did with dolls was stuff them into toy pickups, trucks and horse trailers and haul them away. These girls are all in their 50s now and probably don’t remember their “doll play”; I do. I had no idea so much fun could be had hauling dolls in toy trucks. Mary McElroy, Kremmling

BUILT STRONGER. LOOKS BETTER. LASTS LONGER.
History Lesson
As a teacher for almost 30 years, I highly enjoyed and appreciated the article “Yoked With History” (January ’17). It is refreshing to learn of someone preserving an important part of our nation’s past, bringing it into the present and saving it for our future. D. Duane Esarey, Yoder In all my reading about the Old West and the expansion into it, I don’t think I ever saw anything about what breeds were used to pull the wagons. I think it is great that people today recognize the value in preserving this historic breed. Terry Courtright, Elbert
