The thing I can remember most about Carson was
the way he interacted with people. It didn't matter
if you were a long time friend or he had just met
you, he would talk to you like you were his best friend.
He was always interested in what you were doing or
what you had going on in your life. He had an amazing
way with people, its what made him Carson.

The profound loss of Carson's light in our lives
is beyond measure. He is forever in our hearts, imprinted
on our souls. He was a man full of love and laughter,
kindness and inspiration. His was not a mind that
any observer could have deemed troubled or wounded
until his very last days. His illness was swift and
insidious and then, suddenly, he was lost to us.
There is so much about mental illness that doctors
and lay people still don't understand or fail to recognize.
There is a great deal of work to be done and often
times, we don't address this need until we are personally
devastated by its wake. It is my hope that Carson's
unique and brilliant light will continue to emanate
through the work of this foundation.

It
was over tall coffee drinks at the Breckenridge house
that C.J. unveiled his idea. Antler lamps. I would
find the antlers, make the lamps and then we'd rent
a big U-Haul truck, fill it with antler lamps and
drive all over the Colorado mountains on selling trips
twice a year. Somehow I'm sure there would have been
golf, skiing, and some beer drinking thrown into these
"business" trips. Carson had the business logistics
figured out and every question asked was answered
with impressive knowledge and vision.
Though Carson never got to see a lamp completed, my
first lamp made with three mule deer antlers is dedicated
to Carson, his zest for life, humor and contagious
enthusiasm.
