It was at the Copper Queen Saloon., Bisbee, Arizona Thursday, two days after my 76th birthday. For some time I’d felt that I had many good friends in Bisbee, but if I ever had any doubts, they were dispelled this afternoon. I don’t know any other way to say Thank You! to all of you than this. I felt an outpouring of love that I’ve never felt in my life. This place is magical. I’m so happy to say that I want to end my life here. To all of you who came out to celebrate my 76th birthday, I am verklemmpt, Overcome with emotion. I can’t imagine being anywhere but Bisbee for the rest of my life and would love to celebrate my 80th with all of you. Hope to see ya’ll all again soon.
