From John Montgomery:
"No, we have not moved the Four Corners Regional to Mexico this year! The ad for the Four Corners Regional shows that the event will be August 21st in Red River, Mexico. Obviously, the ad preparer (me) made a small mistake - it should be Red River, New Mexico. We sure hope to see many of you this year in cool, beautiful Red River! Call or e-mail for full information!"

From Stephanie Brockman:
Hey Cowtown,
Tina Barnes just talked to Dale and asked me to pass along the following message:
As some of you may know, Dale had knee surgery yesterday. The surgery went well, and he had it first walk this morning. He'll be in the hospital for the remainder of the week. He said please no flowers, but cards and letters would be great. And if you want to bring him a 6 pack of beer, he said that'd be fine too (that's our Dale)! Although I'm sure the doctors and nurses would have something to say about that!
If you want to swing by or send a card, here's the info:
