                              “ IN M ARCH 1970,
                              I was asked to sell two Wyoming ranches
                              without any previous experience. Lack of
                              any background or preconceived notions
                              has proven to be advantageous because
                              it forced me to study everything involved.
                              For six months my entire focus was on
                              these places – and we closed on both
                              ranches by Labor Day.


      From then on I was hooked — the owners, their managers, and
      the astounding beauty and productivity of ranches and farms
      completely fascinated me.

      Over the years since, I have admired the amazing passion for land
      buyers and sellers demonstrate — and I can gratefully say that
      this same passion holds me willingly in its firm grip to this day.”
