oh I just love this story! If I ever find myself near Fallon, NV I will stop by the Maverick and pay my respects to the past. and hopefully feel your gentleman's presence.
Impossible to love this more than I do...it has me wrapped in intrigue & saudade, though I have never met this wonderful gentleman nor seen the Lariat sign in person. It's an elegant word portrait of life well & quietly lived - & the sad inevitability of loss. Just beautiful.
Thank you so much, Constance! I came across the word "saudade" a couple of decades ago & it really summed up that aching melancholy for tirnes past that is so elusive in English. I appreciate your kind words!

Connie, it's hard to say anything in response to that except, "I love you so much." xoxox
