Think about joining us for your sabbatical.  Fort Collins is economical and a great place to live, especially for families.  Whether you want to go hiking, white water rafting, horseback riding, attend the local theater, zip down to Denver in one hour to enjoy a larger city without having to live in it, or even do some optoelectronic research, there are plenty of opportunities here.
