Back I the 70´s while stationed at Ft Bliss, my wife bought me a Texas Longhorn solid brass belt buckle from the Russell Waterhouse registered collection. To this day I still have the belt buckle. RIP dear Russell.

For reasons unknown memories of my Friend Russel came to mind today. Though it´s been years since he left our world. Seeing him when we were working for the El Paso Natural Natural Gas Co was a good time for me. His smile and hello was always a good feeling for me when we saw each other.

I so delight in the memory of your voice. And how it sounded like you were calling my mom to come out to talk in the kitchen on Cincinnati, instead of leaving a message on the machine. And you and i talked forever on the phone like we knew each other forever; Just like you and mom. The smile in your voice matched the energy in the strokes of your art. I'll never forget you. With love, Jan Painter (Jo McNay's youngest)
