Brad, I am sorry for the tragic loss of your friends.

of course I am sorry for the loss of your good friends.
I, however, rejoice in the article. If only Colorado Springs Gazette would have had your editorials. How we would have worked to get to meet you personally! Cheyenne citizens are lucky indeed, and I applaud the paper for hiring you. Patriots!

As a numismatist, I read this story too often. I am sorry for your loss.

Dear Brad,

I'm sorry for your loss, and the loss to the families of your friends, whose lives were taken without remorse.

Force is mindless, and truly brutes have only that at their disposal.

Sadly, it is the general populace, and specifically those to whom a mind is the most powerful tool, that are too often victims of the brutes.

My sincere condolences to you.

Kind regards,
NMA

Sorry for your loss Brad.

That is a very nice piece.

I was a toddler when my dad pointed to the radio and said, "Listen to this. This is important." It was coverage of the moon landing. My dad was an aerospace machinist and had helped build the 1st Boeing 747 (I returned to Boeing for my first job after college) and, at the time, was a machinist at Lockheed. I'm old enough to have seen the great America that existed post-WWII. We were a nation bolstered by the hard work required for a great victory. We made stuff. We worked hard. We tried to keep families together. I look at what my folks and their friends accomplished with little education and compare it to my generation and it's night and day. Sad, really.

Dwight and Roger in a period of months.

Maybe it's time for some of us young'uns to step up and be the next generation of "authentic Cheyenne."

Thanks Rick. You knew Dwight as well, so you understand that part of it too.A tremendous loss to our city and our planet.

Brad

Bravo, Brad, bravo!
