Thanks for your response. Who has the interest in the Kotschevar family? I have never visited a site like yours before. Not sure what I am doing. I have less info on Lucille Tilton than Russell Kotchevar. I have photos of some of his art and Pend O’reille Pete, some photos of his war memorabilia and family photos. As I said, he was married to my mother and her sister-in-law Lucille Kotschevar Tilton was married to Mom’s brother Loren Tilton. They all lived in Sandpoint Idaho when they passed away. Fay

This is for Vickie, as you konw Ward was gun happy, he subscribed to The Shotgun News, but he didn’t put the paper in his name, he put it inBOOboo’s name, BOOboo Anthony R.R. Dunseith, ND

I guess he thought I didn’t beleive him, so he pulled it out of his back pocket and showed me it was BOOboo’s name on it. He really was a character.

Thanks Gary. I think of all of us aging like a fine wine. Don’t feel 61, heck sometimes I feel like 20 (only my hairdresser knows for sure!)
