Grief Counselors Available For Cowboys and Cowgirls
[Jan. 26, 2010] The last few weeks, no the whole last year, has been a time with many sorrows in the Midwest rodeo family. In just the last few days we have lost Cody Stephens, Joe Garretson and now Jason Clark. Many were still adjusting to the untimely deaths of female bull rider Alyssa (AJ) Vanderhoff and Iowa Rodeo Cowboy Association’s Rich Gheer lost in August; in June we lost Rodeo judge, Thad Ita, his wife, Tricia, and son, Jacob, who were killed as the result of a car crash; and bull rider James Andrew Graber who was also killed in a car crash after an event on January 24th, 2009. Also in all our prayers is bull rider Michael Mincy who is in a coma following another car accident. By Cindy Meyers and Ann Brumback, Rodeo Attitude
