Skipper's Story

Lou Ann Hustvedt, a.k.a. "Skipper", grew up riding her horse around Boulder and the foothills, displaying a spirit of determination and independence that would be with her to the end. Lou Ann parachuted on her 16th birthday, and went on to obtain a commercial pilot license, and then a flight instructor. After her graduation from Boulder High, she attended the University of Colorado. She graduated in 1969 with a degree in Aerospace Engineering. Lou Ann went on to work as an air traffic controller for the FAA and as an engineer for Beech Aircraft in Boulder, all while raising two children. In 1982, she married David Hustvedt and was able devote herself to building their house in Four Mile Canyon, while mothering two more children. The house project was to occupy her for the next 30 years with minor interruptions. In 1987 the family went to Los Angeles, while her husband attended graduate school. Lou Ann supported the family, working as an engineer in the aerospace industry, and learned to sail. After returning to Boulder, Lou Ann began to race sailboats. This led to her teaching sailing, windsurfing, and kayaking for the Girl Scouts for over 25 years. Lou Ann and David were often on extended trips in their sea kayaks including two trips to Alaska, until cancer slowed her down.

Lou Ann was many things: a devoted Christian, mother, wife, engineer, carpenter, home builder, musician, pilot, and sailor. She was a devoted Girl Scout, a troop leader, and a long time volunteer until her passing in 2015.
