It was the second of Music in the Mountains’ fundraisers featuring fine food and great...
While Col. Astor smoked his last cigar, and the “Unsinkable Molly Brown” helped others in her lifeboat survive, the folks in third class on the RMS Titanic were given permission to go up to the first-class deck because there had been an “incident.”
That’s how the Animas Museum’s commemoration of...
