No place like home: Family remembers Tom Boylan, thanks Montrose

My name is Jeanne Boylan, one of six children born to Tom and Jean Boylan of Montrose. My parents eloped from New York City in 1947 order to marry and raise a family in what was then a small and hidden western town. With great pride, they purchased their first home together in the late 40s. Over a span of 13 years, all six children were bundled up in cotton and driven home from Montrose Memorial Hospital, just two blocks away, and carried up the concrete steps of the house we'd all live in through high school graduation. It remains our family home to this day.
