Mayor JOHN LOSCHKE (Parachute, Colorado): Parachute, Colorado, at that time had a population of somewhere in the neighborhood of 300, 3-0-0, nocommas, no nothing.
From the moment of painting the figure 1 until the day he died, when he had reached well past 5500000 (no commas marred his work), his daily task was painting numbers and whispering their names, eventually into a tape recorder.
