We raised Hereford calves we sold as yearlings. We raised our own Quarter Horses for the ranch work. We also farmed, growing alfalfa, oats, and permanent pasture.
When the ranch was supporting too many families, I went to the Sheriff's Dept. where I rose to senior patrol sergeant. I've worked construction, truck driving, and at local copper mines, where I still work operating huge electric shovels.
My relaxation is spending time with my daughters, Tammy and Sandra, family, and friends, working in my pasture, and writing poems. They encouraged me to compile this book. I hope you enjoy it. I recently began reciting my poetry to interested crowds. They seem to really enjoy it. I was pleased when "True West Magazine" named my book "A Cowboy Spirit" the Best Western Poetry Book for 2014.lihat lebih sedikit
