ROVIN' DUSTY DROVER STUFF


Don “Dusty” Maiers

  The time has come to say "Farewell" to Rick “Texas Red” Tucker and “Miss” Julie. They have decided to live in Texas, El Paso to be exact. The have family there and are looking forward to seeing them again.

A party was held at the Elks Lodge, November 22nd. "Texas Red" group played and entertained all of us for several hours. It was a real good farewell party. "Texas Red" and "Miss" Julie will be missed.

  We received news that George "Carolina" Coan passed away on October 28th. It was a real sad note. George was very much into the western way. He also edited a newsletter, "The Old Cowboy Picture Show," an outstanding collection of the lives of Western notables, both historical and current. It also included events in the western musical world in Branson, Missouri.

There will be one last issue this month. It should be a collector's item.



ROUNDING-UP

For our December 3rd meeting, we are having a "White Elephant Exchange." (White Elephant means funny, unusual or strange; NOT mean!) This is always fun!

On December 8th we are getting together at Corrigan's Steak House for lunch. The time is 12:30 pm for lunch and our gift exchange following. The gift should not exceed $10. Ladies bringing a gift for the ladies and men for men.

Yours truly Dusty, is now in doctor's sorta care. I will keep you posted as to my progress.




Happy Trails and Warm Campfires!
“Dusty”
