TPWD Silver Lake State park is on the horizon, new acquisition in the early planning stages. It is located near Rocksprings and Uvalde.

The Moody Foundation ranch land donation combined with funds from the Centennial fund, sets this location up as the second largest Texas state park, behind Big Bend State park.

Dennis Fidler officiated at Richard Burney’s service. A special song was written and produced by his children, Gayle Burger and Richard Burney, Jr. The song was a kind, personal tribute to Richard, who loved his family and horses.

From Sara McMillan:

As many of you are aware, part of Picnic trail has been closed since the eagle nest was close by. Mother nature took the trail back. It has been on our to do list for many years.
Well today a wonderful group of US Forest service guys and a gal got to work. Hopefully we will be riding it very soon.
A big thank you for their hard work.

We received a message from Diane Rose on our TETRA member page that Richard Burney has passed away. I do not have further information at this time.

Richard and Louise sponsored the TETRA’s participation in the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo Parade for years.

Diane Rose wrote the following:

Richard Burney was promoted to heaven this morning after a lengthy illness. Please keep Louise and family in your prayers. The funeral is on Saturday at 2pm. For more information reach out to Richard Lee, Melissa Burger or Louise . Richard was a special tall Texan that gave me an opportunity to be a part of TETRA. He was a soft spoken and gentle spirit. Richard was well loved around Texas and the Country. Now he can Ride JR every day in Heaven. Love, Diane Rose
