It was in 1962 that I was on the comity for the Ruth Lake Rodeo Club to locate someone who had a few head of stock. One of our members stated that he heard that there was a guy over in Anderson,Ca. that might be interested in bringing a few head of his over for our rodeo.That was over forty years ago. Dick put on such a great show, that he came back every since then.I have met Dick many times and his wife also. June, hang in there. You lost a great man, Barbara and I send our love over to you "Bud"
