Members of the National Honor Society from Soroco High School in Oak Creek are interviewing eight residents at Casey’s Pond Senior Living community.

Makayla Iacovetto is a junior. She interviewed Hank, who is 95, born in Granby but spent at least 75 years in Routt County.

“I think it’s super cool because we get to learn what it would be like to grow up in a different time period.”

 

Olivia Rossi is also a junior at Soroco High School. Olivia interviewed 93-year-old Catherine who is from Savery, Wyoming.

“I love hearing about heritage and people’s past. I think that’s a cool part of Routt County that we have so many people coming in. And just hearing about the people who have been here for a very long time. Being a generational rancher myself, I like tohear other people’s generational stories.”

UPDATE: Catherine Duncan passed away on Dec. 24, 2022. https://www.craigdailypress.com/milestones/obituaries/obituary-catherine-ann-duncan/

Eight students are involved in the project at Casey’s Pond. Their reports on each of the residents will be put into a combined report for Casey’s Pond to always have.
