Sierra Vista Company

Bob Turner died in January, 2002, while in the early stages of his pet project: a book depicting the modern Arizona Rangers. Acutely aware that the Territorial Arizona Rangers are well-documented, he saw a great void of knowledge regarding the missions, strengths and weaknesses of the present day Arizona Rangers.

Concentrating his attention primarily on one company, in Sierra Vista, where he lived, he envisioned a book that would tell the story of all present day Arizona Rangers. He sought, and achieved, in depth knowledge of the p-e-o-p-l-e that comprise the modern organization. He was well on his way to documenting, through his penetrating photographs and insightful writings, the organization that he so loved.

Tragically, at the age of 34, Bob is gone - his dream unfulfilled. We admired his skill and determination. We shall miss him.
