We lived in Colorado and still in the Military.Hirthel and I worked on the ranch that the Military ownedHe started renting a room from us and became more than a renter but a real friendWhen Our son was born, we approached Hirthel about naming our son after him. He accepted our offer with geart pride that we would want to do that.When our time was up Hirthel moved and we lost contact with himOver the next 30 years or so I would look for him and finally fate put us back in contactWe never got back together to visit for various reasonsHe passed away a day or so ago and he will be missedHirthel had worked on some of the most famous ranches in the nation . He taught me how to throw a loop and how to set a horse properly, He taught me a lot He taught us about having culture. as he called itHe would be listening to someone singing Opera and when we ask do you understand that , he would say no not a word.Why do you listen then .Doc- Betty you gotta have a little cultureHe could set a table properly as if the president or a king was coming to dine or he could eat out of a can with a spoon You gotta have a little cultureHe was not just a guy that worked on a ranch he was a real cowboy but had a little cultureTo a guy we thought dearly of Hirthel Welker you will be missedDoc, Betty, Charles,& Hirthel</blockquote>
