May Bruce be at peace in his new home. Remembering times during high school when we would all hang out playing cards or meeting on Grand when we were cruising. Then just recently as a Facebook friend talking about the changes in technology and such. Light, love, and Gods blessings to his family and friends. Betty Dawson. Dallas, Texas

share a little story about bruce sincce it is frontier days. bruce, larry luthy and myself went to frontier days when we were about 17. things were going good, we were able to get in the bars and dance alot. we new better than to go up to the bar, so we had a case of beer in bruce’s trunk. so every so often we go out and have a beer, we were parked in a alley behind the bar. well one time we were having a beer in the car and we were visited by cheyenne finest. since they did not search the car, all they ask us to do was dump out our beer,now we had plenty in the trunck, we were under age and bruce had to, refuse to dump out his beer. larry and i and the 2 officers pleaded with bruce to dump out his beer, finally he did. it is late but thanks to the officers for not making it worst
