It is with the deepest sorrow that TSDA was notified this morning of the passing of Elzie B. Raley (E.B.) last evening.  E.B. was an Icon to the herding community worldwide, he and Francis, his wife  of 65 years were instrumental in the promotion of the Texas Sheep Dog Association.  TSDA would not be what it is today without E. B. Raley and Francis.   Please join Jack and I in offering Francis and the family our prayers and heartfelt sympathy during this time. 
At the time of this writing arrangements are pending.  I will post the funeral arrangements as soon as they are finalized.  Cards and condolences may be sent to Francis and the family at – 2915 Anderson Ln., Crawford, Tx  76638.
