Ed Quillen

"He was a straight-shooter, a fact-checker, a proud wordsmith, a brilliant thinker, a touch of down-home Colorado the likes of which are rare."

- Denver Post editors, Denver Post

"Ed Quillen was a character in the full sense of the word—and a wordsmith of the first order . . . Our world has lost a one-of-a-kind voice."

- David Perkins, Bloomsbury Review

"He was a keen chronicler — a mountain-town crier, an unofficial state historian, and a self-described sloth. The first word that comes to mind to describe Ed is “colorful,” and I mean that as an absolute compliment."

- Curtis Hubbard, Denver Post
