Life Member here....reading my latest issue of Bugle and saw mention of that fact. They referenced their previous issue for in depth coverage of what happened, why they did it, etc.

I know these type of things are delicate issues....the poor gentleman, Tortenson, developed stomach cancer and gave the 95,000 acre ranch to RMEF and also provided 4 mil to run the place. So what happens? They eventually determine that they have to sell it because things "didn't exactly work out the way both sides thought it would"....in so many words.

I dunno....seeing that happen, it just hit me wrong...The poor soul lost his life and gave them his most cherished posession, with enough money to run it, and it gets sold. As I understand, his wife, by RMEF's admission, was not totally happy about the deal. I guess I'm just sentimental or something....it just smells to me.

I'm sure someone on here will correct me with what actually transpired though....fire away.

You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.
