Tall Tales & Steep Trails...Life in the High Country ** Back for the Holidays

[Ole Joe Clark]

Dave, I know exactly what you're talking about. Although I did cowboy for several years, I always tell people that I'm not a cowboy. I'm a packer.

However, my dear sweet wife, Ms. Judy, still thinks I'm a cowboy, and my kids think I'm a cowboy, and my grandkids think I'm a cowboy. However, I have too much respect for that profession to ever consider myself a real cowboy.

Wives that are named Judy are special People, I know. My "Ms. Judy" has kept me around for 54 years.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

My dad doctor'd cattle, his and every neighbor that called on him.

I followed in his footsteps as well, pulled calves for all the folks around.
Doctor'd sick stock, cattle, horses and mules too.

I rode the calving pasture of the early morning, at dinner time and
late evenings.
A hundred or so first calf heifers will make ya a Cowboy or make ya quit, one or the other.

I always saw cowboyin' as a profession....

Packin' was an adventure.
