Dear Editor: As a member of the board of directors for Experience Colorado Springs (the local convention and visitors bureau), I offer a different perspective on how the local bureau operates to solicit and retain tourism dollars.

Dear Editor: John Hazlehurst wrote that “we know” what a post conflict, or endless Depression, America would be like — a place of ruined desolation.
