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.

Personal Memories

Best Friends
Went to the School With SGT. Hazy

Best Moment
Was awarded the VOLAR award. Got a pair of jump boots and Letter of appreciation

   

Worst Moment
After boarding a C119 for our second jump and we were rolling down the runway and heard an explosion and they had to taxi off and we had to deplain quickly not knowing if the old aircraft was going to explode or not
