Richard Dorman

I have had the great honor of calling Dick my friend for many years. His books have been an inspiration for me ever since I opened the first volume. He was a source of information, lore, great stories about the narrow gauge, and most importantly encouragement to keep looking and digging when researching. My visits in his home and when he was out here in LA were highlights of my life. He will be sorely missed. Thank You Dick.

Dick designed our research library here at the Colorado Railroad Museum. We had a wonderful time and many experiences working together on this project. It is an outstanding building and will be a reminder of his interest in railroad history for many years to come.

I was honored to know Dick and have always felt privaleged to visit him in Sante Fe and discuss our mutual interest - the narrow gauge railroads of New Mexico and Colorado. He was one of the great ones.

Dick & I had a common interest in building models of the Colorado narrow gauge railroads. Our friendship began around 1974.

So long my friend, you will always be remembered!

Our thoughts and prayers are with Dick's family. My wife and I knew Dick and Jean for many years. Dick and I shared the narrow gauge "bug" and had many great visits in Santa Fe as well as on the trail of abandoned railroad lines. I will miss him as a good friend and fellow model railroader.

With love,

Wes and Mary Helen Moreland

I knew Dick well and did business with him on numerous occasions during the 70's and 80's. I have fond memories of my association with him and will miss him. He was a good man.
