 Roadside Shrine  Stephan & Heather Stephan and Heather were what could be described as a perfect couple, with may wonderful years ahead of them. Musich developed his sense of adventure as a boy, and also honed a passion for music, including a peculiar pastime of playing LPs at 'fast speed'. He loved to ski and recreate in the great outdoors, where he was constantly on a search for truth and “spreading good will wherever he went.” Stephan grew spiritually after arriving in Taos and sought to live a simple life. “He danced, laughed, sang, worked hard and always loved,” Ken Little said. Heather work at the Bureau of Land Management in Taos. She was a passionate advocate for the natural world and a crusader for conservation, particularly efforts benefiting migratory birds. Her “free spirit” brought her to Taos in the fall 2005, where she worked for nonprofit organizations and in spring 2006, began work for the BLM.
