Thought you and the list would enjoy a little recap of the Terry C.
Johnston Farewell Dinner that was held Saturday evening, August 11.
Eighty people gathered to honor Terry at a dinner at Sam Arnold's The
Fort Restaurant in Morrison, Colo. The 80 folks were friends and fans
of Terry, including Ian Patrick of Nederland, CO, John Ludzador,
Loveland, CO and Bill Wagers who have been for years rendezvous friends
of Terry.
John, knew Terry before the first book Carry the Wind was published. He
told a story about Terry showing up at a rendezvous with his buckskins
still wrapped in a plastic and he and Bill immediately throwing mud
balls at Terry's clean buckskins.
Another person told a story about buying a car from Terry just after the
first book was published and giving him a copy of Carry the Wind.
Other's told of their encounters with Terry on the Mountain Man
historical tour.
A number of items were auctioned as fund raisers for the Terry C.
Johnston scholarship fund, the Custer Battlefield land fund and the
American Cancer Society. Close to $2000 was raised.
Several times a jug of an unknown liquid was passed about the tables of
participants. I can speak with personal experience that whatever that
liquid was it left a warm spot in my heart and a new animation in my
voice during dinner and the ceremonies that followed.
I received permission from Vanette Johnston, Terry's widow, to contact A
and E Network's Biography to suggest to them that they do a biography on
Terry. Anyone who has any contacts there please have them get in touch
with me at msws@msws.net.

name can contact the following:
