This lady won a Pulitzer Prize. Mary learned storytelling from her Irish-born mother, her father and her uncles Pete, Tim, and Jamie. Their fairy tales of banshees, leprechauns and pookas would later reappear in her stories and plays. She was born in 1907 in Denver, Colorado and attended Denver schools, graduating from West High in 1922 at the age of 15. She attended the University of Denver and the University of Colorado before joining the Rocky Mountain News, Denver’s oldest newspaper. An attractive, shapely, black-haired woman who dressed stylishly, she wrote a newspaper column the called "Society Notes." Her childhood home, a small one-story cottage at 532 W. 4th Ave. in a working class neighborhood, has been designated a Denver Landmark in her honor. In 1931, Mary left the newspaper to write plays, while also working as a free-lance writer of many articles, short stories and children’s books. Hoping to bring laughter to wartime America, Chase wrote a comedy about a six-foot tall imaginary white rabbit. Harvey opened on Broadway in 1944 and ran for 1,775 performances, also becoming a successful 1950 Universal-International Pictures movie starring Jimmy Stewart. The play became an immediate success and won a Pulitzer Prize. Her later plays included ‘Bernardine' (1952), ‘Mrs. McThing' (1952), and ‘Midgie Purvis' (1961). She died in 1981.

"COLORADO SPIRIT QUEST"
The Colorado Spirit Quest is a series of Caches started in 2008. Placed by many individuals, near cemeteries and historic sites in hopes of paying respect to the many pioneer ancestors that have 'walked' before us. There are hundreds of cemeteries in the rural and mountain communities across Colorado. This series will introduce you to many of them. The cache pages will provide a virtual history tour of the cemeteries and tombstones.
The Colorado Spirit Quest endeavor is an enormous and relentless task. It cannot be accomplished by just one or two people. This project will only flourish if there is a multitude of volunteer cachers willing to place these caches.
After locating the cache container, take some time to reflect back on the lives of those pioneers and the effort it took to make Colorado such a great state.
If you are interested in placing a "Colorado Spirit Quest" you should contact Ivy Dog Parents or Joe Friday.
Each person that places a Colorado Spirit Quest cache is responsible for its maintenance.
