Plato in “The Republic” states that everyone has a village. As Director of Missoula Redevelopment Agency for two decades, Geoff led many decisions for downtown Missoula’s transitions and growth, and he especially enjoys the ongoing successes from the mid-1990’s projects of the trails and the riverfront parks.

I look at this painting on a daily basis and it never ceases to delight me. The many hours I spent conversing with Pamela as she thought about the painting and how it arose from the high points of my life was a time of great insight. I can’t thank her enough for her care and devotion to getting this painting just right.
