Congratulations! Your dedication is inspiring! 
There's more to life than 14ers. There are 13ers.

Congrats, Congrats!!!!!
Not a single post alluding to your peak count or stellar accomplishment. Classy.

I agree wholeheartedly and hope the "Gary Swing finishes Colorado 13ers" thread does, too.

Re: Kent Beverly finishes Colorado 13ers!
Thanks Mark for posting and thanks everyone for your comments. I was waiting to post until I got some pictures but all the photos I received have people in them, so not summit shots for me!
Chossiest would likely be Clark Peak in the Elks but it's solid choss and not really scary.
Some of the most memorable would be (and reason why):
Middle Trinity - did the north face solo, it's like the Wham Ridge but wetter. Day 5 of 9 day trip & included Vallecito listed here too.
S8 (Sneffels Range) - spent the night up there (on purpose) What a sunrise & sunset!
Jagged - did it when I was 15.
"Deadman" Peak (Sangre de Cristo Range) - took me 4 attempts to finally make the summit.
Peak Q & Peak L (Gore Range) really fun climbs with a group of good friends.
Dallas Peak (San Juans) 1984 - had very little info on it and ascending the last pitch up the north face (solo) was scary!
Pigeon Peak (Needles) - my favorite mountain
Vallecito Mountain - listening to a Montrose AM radio on the summit a 6 pm to get a weather report, on the 7th day of a 9 day backpacking trip (the last 5 days on my own).
The 3 Williams Mountains (13,203, 13,382 & 13,108) - a classic, beautiful solo day. A challenging group of peaks but flowers, puffy white clouds, cool & clear water from a snowbank made it all perfect.
There are many other memories but those are the ones that stand out right now.
Please be reverent when you're in the mountains, they are blessings.
Best, Kent.

And my mind was made up,
To climb all the mountains,
Now my body's laid up,
And the night advances.
And time is dear.
