Calling MeHOMEby Bryon HoernerEstes Park Center Museum DirectorMy first summer at the YMCA of the Rockies was in 2005.I worked as a wrangler at Jackson Stables, leading trailrides around the Y grounds and into Rocky MountainNational Park. We worked long days and we alwayssmelled a little like horses but it was great. I fell in lovewith the mountains that summer.When summer ended I returned to Kansas WesleyanUniversity in Salina, KS for my senior year. I graduatedwith my B.A. in History after completing an internship atthe Smoky Hill Museum in Salina.After a year of working as an electrician and living withmy dad, I decided that I needed a change. So I spent6 months planning an extended backpacking trip ofEurope. Before I left I came back to the Y to visit myfriends at the livery. As soon as I stepped out of the car Ifelt like I was home again and I knew that I had to comeback.When I returned from Europe in the fall of 2007 I mademy way back to Jackson Stables. I worked there foranother two seasons before becoming an “official” YMCAemployee by jumping to Outdoor Education. Since thenI’ve also worked in housekeeping, as well as coachedfootball at Estes Park High School, worked downtown,and most recently came back to the Y to workmaintenance.I was so excitedto get backto the Y andnow to bestepping intosuch a greatopportunity.My first fewweeks at themuseum havebeen fantastic.I’m amazed by theamount of information and artifacts that Jack and Luliehave acquired in the last 30 years. I couldn’t have askedfor a better situation to step into. Every day I get moreexcited about the possibilities moving forward and thechance to get to know the Y, and everyone who visits,even better.Welcome Bryon!
