Ron West has been a fan of history and a self-professed Taphophile most of his life. To him cemeteries make those stories real. He has spent the better part of the last few years researching and learning about the residents of Evergreen Cemetery and their contributions to the city of Colorado Springs. His goal is to make sure his ‘finds’ will no longer be lost to history. He is a member of the Evergreen Cemetery Benevolent Society and takes great pride in the work the Society has done.
