Snapshots
Snapshots is the memoir of William J. Hybl, dedicated to his grandchildren and told through the defining moments of a remarkable life. From his early years in Iowa and Colorado to opportunities seized in young adulthood, the book traces his journey through law school, a love story, and a transformative stint in Ethiopia, before returning home to build a career as a prosecutor. A twist of fate led him to the helm of the El Pomar Foundation, where he would spend decades shaping philanthropy and civic life in Colorado. His reach extended to the global stage — through the Olympic movement, real diplomacy, and a front-row seat to history at the United Nations in the shadow of September 11th. The final chapters reflect on a legacy of leadership and the measure of a life well lived, offered as a gift to the grandchildren who inspired every page.
