Sit on your horse on top of a ridge, look out across the country and tell me there is no God.

I put on the parts of my uniform I could still wear and greeted a flight in my home town. Cried like a baby. Angel Flights here are suspended.

Had to put a few on them. Never cried so hard.

I went and visited a recipient of a Angel Flight from the Sand Box then a few who went before there was such a thing that were laid to rest in the early 1900's since no one brought them flowers or stopped by to say thank you !

Hey Allan, did you know a fellow up there by the name of Benny Reynolds ?

Don't know why but I was thinking about him this morning and a little dun horse that he 'dogged off of in '59 or '60.

I certainly did know Benny and his son Rooster also. Sadly Benny passed away a few year's ago while out feeding cows I believe it was from a massive heart attack but I could be mistaken.

There aren't many of those old cowboys around anymore Billy Stockton the last I heard was blind and in less than great shape there again it's been awhile since I've seen Billy also .

I didn't meet any of these fella's until the mid 80's for Benny then Billy in the 90's I feel a lot older than I am ha ha
I miss seeing Benny running the main gate at the NFR I want that job ha ha
