love this very much:) nice :)
What a lovely gesture! I think that you'd better keep David and Sherry!
Thank you Mikko ~ I think I will keep them both :-)
Thank you mustangtony and Bellin !
Great Post Mani, True Family Treasure. Thanks to wailksoftly for making such a "Special" gift to a Dear friend . This is one of those things I enjoy hearing about.
Kerry thank you . David had to track this old paper down but who know he would find it . My cousin showed him the one he had when they visited and David knew I would want a copy. I had many laughs with this Uncle when he came to visit he was a true character and passed away about the time the article came out . Great people on CW !!!!!
Your welcome Mani, I agree there are some very special folks on here. And you're one of those!! :-)
It was our pleasure Mani, we use to get this little insert to the Western Producer paper every week, so as soon as a saw the one Howard had I knew I had to find one.
Looked online got an email address, that put me in touch with the archives librarian. Told her why I wanted it & it was in my mail in a few days.
I wasn't expecting the kind words from others, but I should have known, that's what makes CW unique.
David & Sherry
Thank you bratjdd :-) Your one of those special people on CW also . I have my step dads trunk complete thans so much to you :-) x0
Walksoft I would never had remembered this article had it not been for your trip and Howard showing it to you . Myself and my Sister love it . My sister lived with them as a young adult and helped round up the bulls they raised for rodeo's . Me I would have terrified of a brahma bull, but a nice little miniature horse and me would have been fine :-) Thank you from and my family !
This must have been a real treasure for you. How fortunate !~
