Both Pring-Wilson’s mother, Cynthia M. Pring, and father, Ross A. Wilson, are Colorado attorneys and will help in their son’s defense...
...first unlucky outdoorsman to have to resort to a quickie self-amputation. In 1993 Bill Jeracki cut off one of his legs after becoming trapped under a boulder in Colorado during a fishing trip. "I cut through the knee joint like you separate your chicken," he says. "It's all soft tissue. It took maybe 15 or 30 minutes." But Jeracki is stunned that Ralston endured days of pain.

Ralston's adventuring has nearly killed him at least once before.

Credit unions have long called themselves the best-kept secret in banking, but they are currently looking more and more like for-profit businesses. In Colorado, six credit unions formed a trust company in 2001, and one of its members, Bellco in Greenwood Village, offers everything from investment advice to mutual funds, annuities and insurance.
