In preparation for packing some of our old —and some not so old—historic files off to the Jeffco Archives, we ran across an issue of the Morrison Messenger that was prepared in remembrance of Rolf Paul, who served on Morrison’s Town Board of Trustees from 1974 to 2000, and as mayor from 1980 to 1984. Rolf served the town with dedication, but not without controversy. By nature outspoken and colorful, he made enemies quickly, but turned many of them into friends if they stayed around long enough to appreciate his love for this small town.
Rolf Paul designed the distinctive logo for the town of Morrison, as well as many others in Morrison.

Does anyone have information on George Morrison’s home in Morrison? Is it still standing and is it on the historical site as well?
George Morrison’s home is the stone structure now known as the Cliff House. It is #27 on our list of Places (https://morrisonhistory.wordpress.com/places/).
I have a few questions, is there any way to contact the MORRISON HISTORICAL SOCIETY?
Lanie, I sent you an email. Did you get it?
Thank you Sally…so many bittersweet memories for me….many tears as I read all the wonderful tributes to Rolf. He was an amazing man & it is nice to remember how many Morrison friends knew that & appreciated him.
