SHERIDAN, Colo. â Before you can get a COVID-19 shot at CUâs Sheridan Health Services, there is some paperwork you need to fill out and some questions that need to be answered.
You just may not expect the person translating those questions into Spanish to be an elementary school student.

After living frugally all her life, a woman built up a secret fortune that she left to the universities that shaped her career. Evelyn Lutz, known as “Evie,” quietly saved so she could give back to the thing that meant so much in her life: her education.
Evie grew up during the Great Depression and went on to put herself through college, first earning a bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of Rochester, then a master’s degree from the University of Colorado. She went on to earn her doctorate from Case Western Reserve University in Ohio and had a career in nursing and as a professor and college administrator.
People close to Evelyn Lutz wouldn t be surprised to learn she grew up in lean times.
There were subtle clues the large stash of disposable paper cups she kept in a kitchen cupboard, the friend s untouched pancakes she took home rather than let them go to waste that hinted at a life lived without frills.
Evelyn Evie Lutz was born in the height of the Great Depression, and though she went on to have a successful career as a nurse and educator, she always maintained the spartan lifestyle she learned as a child only buying what she needed, hunting for bargains, saving and reusing trivial items other people would throw away.
