February 23, 2006 while heading to a hydro-electric project in Glen Harcourt's small plane, they hit a power line and died.
Glen Harcourt, founder/owner and mind behind Steeprock Builders and Atlas Arckology (a non-profit that promotes sustainable endeavors), He had a knack for gathering up like-minded, go getter, change the world people. His passion for life and bringing out the best in everyone will live on through everyone he's touched and influenced.
Bo Willse, laborer at Steeprock, learning to fly, and wonderful friend. When the bus dropped me off early at the Steeprock office before anyone else was there, I would hang out with Boomer, his dog, while Bo ate his breakfast. Excited about the day, with that smile on his face, always.
Tim Hackett, fellow ski coach at Telluride Ski and Snowboard Club, and fellow intern at Steeprock was working on every and all projects pertaining to renewable energy systems.
All three were good friends and I was fortunate to get to know them and work with them during the three months I have lived in Telluride. They all embodied energy and enthusiasm for life that was hard to find in places. They each had abundant smiles and laughs that filled the room and even couldn't be contained by walls. They were dedicated to sustainable endeavors and were making the world a better place each day they lived. They have not left us, since their inspirations and ideas will continue on in everyone touched by their lives. I feel them in the wind and will always see them in the mountain peaks, I will strive towards their ideals, and continue to live with their love and enthusiasm.

I didnt know Tim, but I admired and loves Glen, and I gave Bo my name. Thank you for mentioning them in your journal. They will never be forgotten by me.
