Hey, it lets anyone reading the book know that Colorado has a Tombstone
Transcription Project. I think this all happened after the Rocky Mt. News
did their article on me in the Leadville Cemetery. The author is an
attorney, businessman and a reporter for the News or the then News and the
people he picks out in his book tend to be people who were involved in the
business, not all of them but most of them. He wasn't the reporter that
came to Leadville to do that interview.
I think it is less than 2 seconds... ;-))
