Barr Van Sciver - 2003-08-20
I have
been living in Denver, CO for the past 28 years. I love the mountains,
dry climate, and outdoor lifestyle of Colorado.
After several years of trying to “find” myself I graduated from Stephens College in ‘73 with a BFA. I had gone to Univ. of MO for a couple of years and then got a chance to go to upstate New York to work. While there I married and my daughter was born there. After being divorced, I came back to Columbia and finished my degree at Stephens. I moved to Denver in 1975 and have been here ever since. In 1999 John Van Sciver and I were married on Valentine’s Day at the top of the Loveland ski area. Between us, we have three daughters. My daughter and her family live in southern California near Irvine. They have two small sons. She works as a Human Resource specialist and her husband is an attorney. John’s older daughter is a Russian teacher who spent three years in Moscow teaching Russian at an English speaking diplomatic school. She just moved to Munich to teach at another diplomatic school. The younger daughter lives in San Clemente, CA and is teaching art. She was recently engaged and will be married next summer. Both John and I work for the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. I drew geologic maps for the department until computerized mapping pushed me into working in the Director’s Office. John is a water engineer for the state. We both have enough years with the state to be looking at retirement within the next year. That will be an exciting change of life style and we are making plans for it. . My parents still live in Columbia.
John and
I are both avid skiers, and also like to travel, hike, ride, raft, and
backpack, although that pack is getting heavier by the year. We are
“old house” people and have been restoring a historic house for the last
10 years. We live in one of the old central Denver neighborhoods.
We like to say working on the house keeps us out of trouble. I hope
we live long enough to get it finished! I never dreamed it would
be a “work in progress” for so long.
