Dear Gus & Magnus,

I spent the day doing interviews with our Denver Water Team staff to help them expand the brand in Colorado. The best story: One of our engineers grew up in Juarez/El Paso with brown water coming out of the sink. Her mother used to tell her to let the water run for a while before drinking it because they weren't sure if it was safe. That little girl grew up, boarded a Greyhound bus, and put herself through school in Colorado, where she learned how to treat water. Now she's working to provide clean water to communities all over the Southwest. It's a powerful story that I'm glad I get to tell.

Because Yuliana is a native Spanish speaker, we decided to also interview her in Spanish. I took two years of Spanish in high school, three semesters in college, and Nene used to make us listen to Spanish lesson cassette tapes in her minivan when I was kid, but I still can't speak the language, so I had Sasha come in to run the interviews.

Dad.
