BIG RANCH COWBOY

<p><br></p><p> I grew up for a while in a little community where the merchants got together in the summer time and would </p><p>put on a free outdoor movie; sort of like the modern drive ins except everybody sat on chairs or laid on the </p><p>grass and watched that movie on a canvas screen. The westerns were what took my eye. If I go back a little further I can tell about the first movie I ever saw. The cowboy hero of that movie was the first hero I ever had. That was Buck Jones in Red River Valley. I've pulled many a sweaty saddle blanket off my horse since then. I don't think I ever spent a full day ahorseback that something exciting funny or unusual didn't happen. Before the full day ended some happenings were downright hilarious and some were pretty western.  All I ever wanted to be was a big ranch cowboy.
