To amused Governor J. Bracken Lee he presented one silver spur and an invitation to come to Denver to pick up the other one.

Pastor in Pistachio. Business, by earthly standards, was good indeed. Tom worked up a wardrobe of 46 expensive suits (favorite: a pistachio-green gabardine), a flock of screaming sport shirts and cowboy jackets, 200 pairs of cowboy boots, some worth $200. "I like to keep my feet covered," explained Brother...
