I looked around the board and couldn't locate anything so if this is old news, I do apologize!
I just received word via email from a good friend that our pard Coop Trawlaine (Walt Lange) passed away last night. Word is that Coop's son phoned RD Henry and gave him the news. This is truly a great loss to all who knew him.
Coop was a good man and he & I spent many a night on the phone discussing life's challenges and just life in general. Coop was a wonderful Western writer for those of you who never got to read his books. I for one will truly miss him, the phone chats and his weekly emails.
My condolences to the family. You will be truly missed my friend.
