Magazine. This art issue was so much fun. I really
enjoyed the amazing artist and their various horsey
styles and mediums. Do you think I could take the
“Argentine Polo Brothers” home with me?

Farewell To Bruce
Duchossois
I was blessed to have known Bruce many years
ago when I rode with Don Stewart, Rodney Jenkins
and Mikey Cohen in the late 60s and 70s. In 1973 I

Song in the room. So fun. I am now 60 years old and
unfortunately left the horse world and all the many,
many friends I had. It’s been wonderful reconnecting
lately with many I had known during those wonderful
years. Unfortunately, many old friends are passing
away too soon and I oh so wish I had stayed in touch
throughout the years. My loss, but I feel blessed that
I knew them and have such great memories of all. No
one can take that away from me.
Rest in Peace my dear ole friend Bruce and I hope
you will remember me when we meet again.
