Sometimes, when covering the news, we miss the people who maybe aren’t doing anything dramatic or new, but deserve a little recognition for being one of the many community members who hold our region together.

So, KOTO news is starting a new series, Pay It Forward. Each segment, we’ll talk with someone in the community about their life and Telluride journey. And then ask them to nominate someone to shine a spotlight on for the next segment.

To kick things off, we asked KOTO’s Assistant Station Manager Claybrook Penn for a nomination. Her choice: Diana Gonzales, who runs Caravan with her husband, David.
