SUMMARY:My Life as a Miner/Prospector
DESCRIPTION:ROCK ON ! : FRETTERD TALK RESCHEDULED\nSpringtime in the Rockies is always unpredictable. Almost a foot of snow forced the Pikes Peak Historical Society to cancel Richard Fretterd’s talk in May. It has now been rescheduled for Sunday\, June 8.\n“Rock” star\, Richard Fretterd\, is a hero in the Pikes Peak region. He has been featured on the popular TV series “Prospectors\,” and is arguably one the most successful miners in the area. In 2008\, he first donated an extremely large smoky quartz crystal (439 lbs and 4 feet tall) to the Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum\, aided by a special grant from the Cripple and Victor Gold Mining Company. In 2013\, he donated a second very large smoky quartz crystal (345 lbs and 4 feet 3 inches tall). Experts believe that these are the largest smoky quartz crystals ever discovered in North America. Both crystals are now in the permanent collection of the Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum\, putting it on the national map of geologic treasures. Fretterd intended the “Brother” crystals to be a memorial to his younger brother\, Vincent “Scruffy\,” and to remain in the mountains where they were found. \nGuests are invited to the Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum following Fretterd’s talk\, where the “Brother” crystals will be dedicated. There will also be a Ribbon Cutting by the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce for the new Museum parking lot\, made possible by grants from CDOT\, Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mine\, Teller County Commissioners\, Park State Bank\, Teller County Public Works Dept.\, and other funding partners. \nThe Pikes Peak Historical Society invites you to learn more of this Rock Star’s fascinating life story when they host Rich Fretterd on Sunday\, June 8\, for their monthly Chautauqua (free program)\, at 2:00 pm at the Florissant Library. The Library is located adjacent to the Florissant Community Park on 334 Circle Drive in Florissant. Fretterd’s program is presented as a public service of the Pikes Peak Historical Society. Admission is free\, and refreshments are served. Seating is limited. For more information\, call 719-748-3562. \n
