My first job was at Ace Stables as a trail guide. Bill and Beverly Spell ran the rent horse business They became like family to me. Yesterday I found out Beverly died from the cancer she had been fighting for years. I had fallen out of contact with them. She had died 2 months ago.
I went and saw Bill today. He was working as usual. Mucking stalls. I rode with him in the dump truck and we talked for over an hour. He is resilient. Still working, cleaning stalls, barn maintenance, and training horses at 70.
I felt he comforted me with just general chatter. He was always good at talking.
Bless him and his family.
