Hi Roger,
I have been following your
pieces on the disappearance of
Dale Williams from the onset of
this situation. My daughter,
Judy, talks to her Dad who lives
in Nucla, plus other friends of
hers who live in the area. So, I
hear all the rumors and gossip
theoriesabout the Nuc'ia
Mystery.
I have to stand up for my old
friend, Dale Williams. I have to
speak out against the defaming
rumors and gossip about one of
the biggest men I have ever been
graced to have for a true friend:
Dale Williams,
I have been working in law
enforcement in Grants since
1988. I am a certified E911
Police Dispatcher and have
worked for the City, Village, and
Sheriff's Department, so I am
not a complete novice to these
type of situations.
First and foremost, the depths
of Dale Williams was known by
his family. Dale claimed me as
his friend when I really needed a
friend many years ago when I
lived in Nucla. I knew him well.
I could walk up to him today,
and know that the true friend
would still be there. He was
always loyal to his wife and
kids. They were FIRST in his
life. Always remember that
Diana.
NO...absolutely NO! Dale
Williams did NOT just walk
away from his life in Nucla.

sibility, and sensitivity were far
too high for that to have even
crossed Dale's mind.
You Roger, like myself and
my two youngest kids, had the
privilege of being a part of
Dale's circle of real friends.
Many times Dale said, "I will do
whatever it takes to help you and
your kids. Do not give up."

practiced what he preached...
There is no such thing as a
perfect crime. Dale left clues.
IF there was foul play, Dale left
behind something that will lead
to him and hopefully to sus-
peels. I know he did.
To the people of the West
End: Quit spending your energy
on easy guesses about this situa-
tion. Put your minds and hearts
to work on solving this dilemma
in a positive manner. That's
what Dale would have done for
any of you. I know that he
would NOT have just sat around
gossiping about a situation like
this. He would be doing what-
ever it took to help you. He
would NOT have given up.
Dale Williams was a big man.
He will always be my cherished
friend. My prayers are for you,
Diana, and your children:

Sparklers, rockets and cherry
bombs can help make for a great
July 4th -- unless you take them
on the National Forest.
Because fireworks can reach
temperatures of 1,500 degrees,
they can easily start Forest fires.
Each July 4th, thousands of peo-
ple visit Grand Mesa,
Uncompahgre, and Gunnison
National Forests to camp, picnic
and have family gatherings.
Because their safety is at
stake, it is against the law to
even have fireworks in your
possession when on National
Forests. Lighting fireworks is
an even more serious offense.
"Despite good moisture in
rec nt weeks, there is still the
possibility of human-caused
fire. Vegetation that has dried
out can easily catch fire," said
Forest Supervisor, Bob Storch.
"Be careful with your campfires
-- and please leave your fire-
works at home."

vertantly left off of the

administration would like
to apologize for the ommis-
sion.
