Lon Wartman – Colorado Local Photographer/Poet and member of the Tri-Lake Cruisers

Meeting Lonny at a July 2025 Monument Colorado Tri-Lake Cruisers car show was a profound and uplifting pleasure. The more Lonny and Debby conversed, the greater we discovered our shared family history experiences with mental health well-being. I continue to discover others with shared life experiences who have lost a loved one due to mental health issues. Listening to others’ stories only strengthens my commitment to bringing awareness of an epidemic social issue.

Lonny is a published author who has written three books filled with the wisdom of the western plains of Kansas where coyotes sing on starlight nights and dust boils over the plains on hots summer days. Where solitude reigns in lonesome refrains and neighbors are but the salt of the earth.  See “Lessons in Courage, back cover overview”
