Walter Curtis Imrie Jr., the independent filmmaker started coming Out West to the family’s Little Menokin Ranch up in 4Elk near Buena Vista regularly back in 1967. He had graduated from Northwestern University in Illinois, where his family settled after stints in Washington, D.C., and Atlanta. Then potential stardom lured him to San Francisco, California.
The story continues even though Imrie was fatally felled a week ago at age 70 by a heart attack at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, showing his prized donkey for the 20th consecutive year.
