Bill Heersink

Bill Heersink grew up in the San Luis Valley and graduated from Alamosa High School.  For the past fifty years he has lived in Ogden, Utah, serving as a parish pastor, theology professor and refugee resettlement volunteer.  Presently he keeps busy gardening and writing.  He and his wife, Claire (both descendants of Dutch SLV colonists), have never lost their fondness for the valley and have returned almost annually.
