Dear Isabelle and family! I am Eleanor D. Hostetter! I worked with Rogelio at Coopers Western Wear in downtown Santa Fe back in 1970 and so. I have some pictures of Rogelio that were taken when we worked there that I would like to share with you. My memories of Rogelio are many as he introduced me to selling cowboy boots and other merchandise that we carried at Coopers. He took me under his wing because I had never worked anywhere in my life when I got the job at Coopers. I had just moved to Santa Fe and had started a teaching career. A widow with four children to raise, I had to get a part-time job to provide for my family. I hope that I can share some of the memories that I have of Rogelio with someone in your family. I hope to hear from someone. Sincerely, Eleanor D. Hostetter
