A ONE-GUN SALUTE
Have a cannon and a fondness for Hunter S. Thompson?
The Aspen Daily News is seeking essays of 100 words or less on why your cannon should be used to fire Thompson's cremated remains into the sky over his home at Owl Farm. Applicants must:
Include a photograph of the cannon.
Have an estimate about how far it fires.
Know the approximate date for when it was last fired with information about any injuries incurred.
Own the cannon or have legal access. Cannons with historic value or Kentucky origins will be awarded extra points.
Essays should be sent to Aspen Daily News, 517 E. Hopkins Ave., Aspen, CO 81611 by March 13. No faxes, e-mails or phone calls
