Dan LeVan arrived in the city at the confluence of the Roaring Fork and Colorado rivers when he was just six weeks old.<\/p>\n

It was 1961 and the LeVans were driving back to Nevada after having spent the summer in the small town of Neenah, Wisconsin where LeVan\u2019s mother, Patricia LeVan, grew up and Levan, himself, was born.<\/p>\n

At the time, LeVan\u2019s father, Dan H. LeVan, worked as an art teacher in Nevada and the family was heading back west for the coming school year.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlong the way they stopped in Glenwood,\u201d LeVan said. \u201cThey took a look at the paper and saw there was a high school [teacher] position open. So, my dad took that and the rest is history.\u201d<\/p>\n
