Of course, Schroeder has a history in this state, living for a time on a sprawling Western Slope property, and occasionally venturing into Grand Junction, the largest community in the vicinity of his spread. He's since moved on, but my mother, who resided in G.J. until recently, still recalls the experience of sitting a row in front of Schroeder at a local movie theater several years back. She says he was so loud and obnoxious that she wanted to knock the silver spoon out of his mouth.
