Our sincere Colorado condolences to Eleanor and the Eaton family. We are grateful for many years of friendship with Richard and Eleanor, sharing our interests in rodeo, Westerns and Boston sports. We took part in functions at Las Vegas, LA, and Gene Autry, OK. Also, many a wonderful Chateau meal. Richard, you were as fine a gentleman as one could know. We'll miss you. Adios, friend. Look forward to when we're all back in the saddle on that great range in the sky.
