Riley Boice
Eventually, Lindsay’s report took him to Cuba. As a matter of fate, he reported there during the Obama Presidency, who ushered in a historic opening of U.S.-Cuba relations, and Trump, who returned U.S. policy to “a Cold War-era policy of economic warfare,” Lindsay explained. “In terms of being able to make a living, have hope, or feel like your country has a future or not.” Lindsay said the outcome of U.S. elections has had more profound effects in Cuba than for most Americans at home.

At about 3,400 square feet, the four-bedroom home is a comfortable size for the family and their gear: moderately sized but easily accommodating congregational spaces. The kitchen is the hub with a marble waterfall island that comfortably seats six. It opens into the main dining and living space which soars even beyond its 25-foot ceilings to the mountain cathedral, Baldy, framed by a wall of windows. “I didn’t anticipate how incredible that would be. We call it the snow globe in winter. It’s a spectacular space and place to be,” says the mother. [...]

Putting the Sun Valley Lifestyle All Under One Roof
Cristy Sellas
Though Terry is busier than ever, he doesn’t have much time for photography... or fishing! He’s often on his feet for up to 12 hours a day. He founded Silver Creek Outfitters, a Sun Valley institution and one of the finest flyfishing guiding services in the country. He’s been doing that for half a century and over 30 years in SC’s current location—on the east side of Main Street at 5th Street—a place to shop and talk shop. It’s a destination for the right flies for the river, the right dress for the Sun Valley Pavilion, the right gun for elk season and the right Stetson for the Cowboy ball. Terry has ensured that Silver Creek offers everything one could need for their Sun Valley Lifestyle—all year round and under one roof. But it was a slow process— “not a revolution, but an evolution,” as he said. [...]
