It's been a long time since I've seen any of the Monaghan's but my mom (Lee Heinrichs) has kept me informed over the years. Their's was one of the two families in Dodge City that felt like just a natural extension of our own. I have very fond memories of all of you and am sad to hear of Bob's passing.
