Doris Anderson's passing

[Nikki Reynolds <jakar@phonewave.net>]

One of endurance riding's legends, and a wonderful lady, passed away on 
August 3rd at her  home in Fallon, Nevada.  Doris Anderson was a longtime 
member of AERC, with 15,430 sanctioned miles to her credit.  She and her 
husband, Deane, owned and operated T&A Ranch in the Harmon District where 
they raised Arab endurance horses, cattle, and alfalfa.

Deane and Doris managed the High Desert 55 ride from their ranch for over 
20 years.  Doris was a real high energy go-getter and an inspiration to the 
rest of us who were out there in the hot sun waiting on those last few 
riders.  She was always running around making sure all her volunteers were 
well-fed and cared for while still managing to juggle a bazillion other 
tasks.

Besides endurance, Doris enjoyed genealogy, doll collecting, photography, 
and in 1991 won a Nevada Trophy Big Game Certificate for her pronghorned 
antelope.  Voted Mother of the Year in 1965, she was also a member of St 
John's Lutheran Church.  A registered nurse, she worked at Fallon Community 
Hospital and Carson-Tahoe Hospital.

Rememberances can be sent to the American Cancer Society, PO Box 1473, 
Fallon, Nevada, 89407-1473 or Lutheran Bible Translators, PO Box 2050, 
Aurora, IL, 60507-2050.
