I was never a rodeo cowboy, I was a range cowboy in charge of 500 head of mama cows and calves running on 750 thousand acres of forest service allotments.I use to work for a cattle association from May To Nov. After that I taught skiing in the winter months I was not a certified instructor but put in four years at instruction.I worked seasonal jobs ,you dont get rich in money but you do get rich in experiences.

Best Moment Being on the detail to guard Secretary of State Rogers in Riyahd and staying in the guest palace and waited on by some mean looking Sudanese servants bearing tribal scars on their faces.
Other Memories Seeing a a Turkish fort in Huf Huf with walls thicker than my house is length wise. Going to a cave that Jesus had stayed in , we were told this anyway.Seeing a camel caravan silloueted against the sun on top of the dunes and it seemed right out of the Bible or Lawrence of Arabia.
