David Grimm was, in many ways, the voice of Boulder in the 1970s and 1980s: first through his radio work on KBOL and KGNU, and later through his decade-long position as Communications Director for the City of Boulder. In this entertaining and enlightening interview David Grimm brings the Boulder of those decades alive through the recounting of many irreverent and telling anecdotes of those lively years, including stories about politics in Boulder, environmentalism in Boulder, the Boulder-Dushanbe Teahouse, the construction of the Pearl Street Mall, the Halloween Mall Crawl, and various famous people who visited Boulder over the years.

Ray Joyce is a Boulder native who started and owned some of the first supermarkets in Boulder in the 1950s and served on the Boulder City Council from 1966 to 1969. In this interview he discusses what went into creating and running the successful Joyce's markets, and talks about some of the important achievements of the city council during his tenure, including the creation and funding of the Open Space Program in Boulder, the acquisition of more water rights for the city, and the end of prohibition in Boulder. He also discusses changes between the 1960s and the early twenty-first century in the makeup of the city council and the way meetings are run.

Joyce Davies discusses the history of her involvement with the League of Women Voters and how that involvement led her to join and lead other civic organizations. Joyce grew up near Providence, Rhode Island, went to college in Rhode Island, and taught school for about 10 years. When she married and moved to Boulder with her husband, she ended her teaching career and redirected her efforts to her family and the Boulder community. Joyce served with the League of Women Voters and soon became involved in the open space issues of the late 1950s and early 1960s. She served twice as president of the League. She also became involved in historic preservation and became a co-founder of Historic Boulder. She served on that board as well as on the city planning board. Joyce speaks of the friendships she formed with such politically-involved women as Ruth Wright, Janet Roberts and Ruth Correll through her work with the League and her continued involvement, at age 84, with unit meetings of the League at Frazier Meadows to discuss the issues of the day.
