LOVE IN FRIENDSHIPNESS, KAREN GAY McBURNEY FROM: Joe Preciado SENT: Saturday, May 12, 2007 9:37 PM SUBJECT: Harry Preciado Bob Thank you for the nice tribute to my Father Harry Preciado. I and my family viewed it and were quite touched at the words you spoke about my Dad and my Mom. We laid him to rest yesterday and what was most special, it was with full Military Honors with the folding of the U.S. Flag and a rifle salute. What was also special was representaion from my office of the U.S. Border Patrol and the precenese of uniformed agents in support of my loss. He will be greatly missed by all. I wish to extend my a most sincere thank you for the friedship you exteneded to both of them and also to the rest of the desert community who eccepted them into their close knit circle of friends. Joe Preciado FROM: Steven McClaury SENT: Thursday, July 6, 2006 SUBJECT: My Desert Bob, thought you might enjoy this as much as I did: MORNIN' ON THE DESERTNo more stuffy cities, where you have to pay to breathe, Where the helpless human creatures move and throng and strive and seethe. Mornin' on the desert, and the air is like a wine, And it seems like all creation has been made for me and mine. No house to stop my vision, save a neighbor's miles away, And the little 'dobe shanty that belongs o me and May. Lonesome? Not a minute! Why, I've got these mountains here, That was put here just to please me, with their blush and frown and cheer. They're waitin' when the summer sun gets too sizzlin' hot, An' we just go campin' in 'em with a pan and coffee pot. Mornin' on the desert - I can smell the sagebrush smoke, I hate to see it burnin', but the land must sure be broke. Ain't is jest a pity that wherever man may live, He tears up much that's beautiful that the good God has to give? "Sagebrush ain't so pretty?" Well, all eyes don't see the same. Have you ever saw the moonlight turn it to a silvery flame? An' that grease wood thicket yonder- Well, it smells jest awful sweet, When the night wind has been shakin' it - for its smell is hard to beat. Lonesome? Well, I guess not! I've been lonesome in a town. But I sure do love the desert with its stretches wide and brown. All day through the sagebrush here the wind is blowin' free, An' it's ours jest for the breathin' so let's fill up, you and me.
NOTE: The author of "Mornin' in the Desert" is unknown, though the poem is sometimes attributed to John R. Nielson. It is said to have been found written on the door of an old cabin in the desert. //bob FROM: Mysticwvs SENT: Friday, July 14, 2006 SUBJECT: Fire~~~~~~~~ Hi Bob..........We have been trying to keep up to date with the fire down your way. Just how close is it to where you live? From what I hear because of the wind problem and not really enough fire fighters, containment will take awhile. Stay safe!! (did you take the pictures that you included in your Tues. email)? FANTASTIC!!! Barbara in sj FROM: Ms. Karen G McBurney SENT: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 SUBJECT: Send greifs and prayers My half brother's mother-in-law past on Sunday; July 16, 2,006.

Bob,You say it's hot down your way. Think again. Man alive I tell ya, It's past 100 degrees up here in the Tri-Cities, Washington State sometimes now. I do carry my water bottle all the time. I do say that cement feels like about 1,000 degrees. I was running on cement trying to get to the shades of the door.I forgot to wear my sandles and I was only wearing my bare feet. Next time I will learn to wear something on my feet. The weather man says it's going to get more hotter yet. HELP US LORD! I want to pray. Well, have a nice day, we all love you down your way.

MS.KAREN GAY McBURNEY FROM:Rachel Carreiro SENT:Friday, March 3, 2006 1:33 PM SUBJECT:RE: Copper Mountain Mesa News Dear Mr. DeLoyd, Your column is wonderful!! I enjoy it immensely. My Son lives in Joshua Tree & we own property up there too. It's nice keeping informed of what is going on up there. We love the area and want to see that it stays that way. Keep up the good work!! Rachel Carreiro FROM:Jackie Johnston SENT:Friday, January 13, 2006 8:08 AM SUBJECT:Hello and just found your website again! Bob, Hello to all my old friends at CCM! I just read your 01/07/2006 article and am shocked and saddened to learn about my mentor. Between Kaye and Mary Lou Kernop, the two of them taught me everything I know about crafting and quilting and sewing. I don't have any phone numbers any more so if you would please tell Patrick for me that I am sorry I wasn't there for him and Kaye and that I think about all of you very often. Then after reading that I decided to check the archives to see what all you have been doing and what else has happened since I left. Oh my goodness my say mood went into a real funk! So many of the lovely ladies that lived up there are now gone. My condolences to all of the families who lost loved ones. I will try to get my caregiver to bring me up there one day. You see I haven't been well since Dec of 2004. I went into the hospital with Kidney Renal Failure and am now on dialysis 3 times a week. Then just about 2 months ago now I began having seizures and they don't know what causes them. So now I will check the site every week to see what is happening up there with my friends. That way I won't miss much and have to apologize for being late or unaware of anything anymore. Jackie Johnston FROM: Sandra Foyil SENT: Saturday, January 7, 2006 6:59 AM SUBJECT: Kaye Bob, I remember my Granddaddy talking about Kaye and the dog too...thanks for sharing with us. have a beautiful day today because today is all we have! Sandra FROM: MICHELLE N. SENT: Saturday, December 31, 2005 3:26 PM SUBJECT: Thank You Hi Bob, I am Michelle, Sam's sister-inlaw who you will probably tell stories about how many trojans and viruses you found on her PC. I want to thank you for cleaning up my PC and doing, (from what Sam said) a complete overhaul on my system. I guess I am more ignorant than I thought I was on PC use or, I guess I am finding out just how much the PC LAN and Network people at my place of employment do for our company to keep crap off our systems. I am most appreciative of the time spent getting me "up and running" once again. I don't understand how I did this to my PC as most of the email I open here shows a "no virus found" or "not a virus threat". I guess I just need more instruction in this area. Again I thank you and please let me know what kind of baked goodies you enjoy. Happy New Year and God Bless Michelle N. SENT: Saturday, September 24, 2005 9:46 AM SUBJECT: Sorry to hear about your friend passing recently FROM: Mike Long Bob, Sorry to hear about your friend passing recently. You never can tell how life is going to go, or how or when it will end. My sympathy is with you and your friends family. I didn't respond right away due to our families own loss. Last week I got a call from my sister who is recovering from a Broken shoulder, with rather upsetting news. Our little dog Reggy, had been "greeting" the mail man as he normally does, jumping up at the front door when he caught the edge of the coffee table on the way down. That spun him around and he hit the floor head first, killing him instantly. My sister said he cried out briefly and then he was gone. That little guy bit me in every place you could imagine but I still loved him. Mom was devastated and will probably be so for some time. I will miss that little guy for a long time. And I am glad he was part of our life. Be well my friend, Michael SENT: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 2:39 PM SUBJECT: So Very Sorry FROM: Barbara Hi Bob, I did get your e-mail about the sudden death of your friend. So very sorry for you and his wife. Sounds like the two of you had a terrific friendship. That is almost a rare thing these days. I am sure he also knew what a wonderful friend you were to him also. I enjoyed the episode of the "magic screwdriver"----I'll bet you have many stories of the great times and fun both of you had! Please take care of yourself.............Barbara SENT: Thursday, August 4, 2005 9:57 AM SUBJECT: Congragalations to my NEW GREAT NEPHEW FROM:Ms.Karen Gay Peanuts McBurney Dear Bob Deloyd, I am a brand new GREAT AUNT now.
