The Colorado Water Trust recently lost a long-time friend and colleague – David Getches. David had served on the CWT Board of Directors almost since its inception. His passion for the environment, creativity, and quiet, thoughtful approach to complex problems helped guide the Trust in its formative years. David had just retired as Dean of the University of Colorado Law School to resume teaching. He had previously served as Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources and as an advisor to the Interior Secretary during the Clinton Administration. He graciously gave his limited free time to a number of causes in which he deeply believed, including the Colorado Water Trust. David died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 68. He will be deeply missed and always remembered.
