Howdy Everyone,

ADDITIONS/REVISIONS: We have added a listing for or made revisions to the existing listing for the following: Quincy Snodgrass (Quincy Silby), Dale Berry, Loren D. Estleman, Ronald L. Davis, Walon Green, Jon Chandler, Jane Smiley, Hal K. Rothman, Elliott West, Jack Fairchild, Dee Brown, Richard Harris, Richard Crenna, Ken O'Rourke, James Coburn, Max Evans, Candy Moulton, Steven Law, Ben Mikaelsen, Robert Kinerk, Will James, George Montgomery, Eddy Arnold.

(These listings also report the deaths of Dee Brown, Richard Harris, Richard Crenna and George Montgomery.)

May I draw your attention to two of those folks? My research on Eddy Arnold revealed much I didn't know, and maybe you don't either, about how successful he was/is and his track-record with the song, "Cattle Call". . . . . . And take a look at the listing for my new pard, Ken O'Rourke. He was a country/Western entertainer in the 1940's and 50's and was kind enough to share some great photos of him with Hopalong Cassidy and with Gene Autry. And you can even listen to his record (a hit during the Korean War), "Goodbe Maria (I'm Going to Korea)".

NEWS:

Would you say a prayer for cowboypoet friend Larry McWhorters? He is undergoing treatment for cancer. And if you care to drop him a card, send it to 1211 Vivienne St., Weatherford, TX 76086-6026.

Been kinda busy lately and won't be traveling much this year, as I have taken a job as a sales rep for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma. It is an 8 to 5, Monday-Friday deal, and all at a nice office 13 miles from our house. . . . .

My girlfriend (and still my wife), Peggy, is visiting her sister in Guadalajara, Mexico this week.

Well, drop me a line and let me know what is going on in your corner of the world.

Well, that's it for now, neighbors.
