Harold Smethills "Sterling Ranch - a vision of the future"
Learn
about a remarkable new proposed 3400 acre master planned development in
North Douglas County just South of Littleton; Sterling Ranch. The
principal mover and shaker behind this project is Harold Smethills.
A third-generation Coloradan, he enjoys the state's Western
heritage as a rancher and outdoorsman. He is a retired Colonel from the
Colorado Air National Guard and was the recipient of the Legion of
Merit. He received his BSBA in Finance from the University of Denver as
well as his MBA and Juris Doctor. The chairman of Wings Over the
Rockies Museum, Harold inherited his love of aviation from his mother,
a pilot in the Civil Air patrol during WWII, and his father, commander
of the Civil Air Patrol in the 1940's. Harold also chairs the Board of
American Studies Institute, and he and wife Diane, a Sterling Ranch
partner, are very involved in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
and the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes.
