All Trail Rider meetings begin around 3:00 pm and are over when they're over. A donation of $2.00 requested per person to help pay for the snacks and sodas.

“Miss” Teresa invites all ladies of the Trail Riders to come and enjoy each and watch great western movies.

•   “Miss” Joyce Harding uncovered a pair of boots owned by our late Honored Member, Pierce Lyden. They are Tony Lama's size 8 1/2 made out of Stingray leather. The original price was $600. They are very slightly worn and can be a very good buy. If you are interested, contact or call Pat “Stoney” Bousquet or “Miss” Joyce Harding and make an offer. Stoneys number is (805) 527-9653.

•   “Miss” Teresa has one leather jacket for sale. It is a brown smooth lambskin dress jacket. It fits me like it was made for me, size XL and well worth $150.00.

Tell 'em you heard about 'em on the Trail Riders of the West website!

•   Let me tell you, life is full of surprises and excitement! December was a hard month for the Trail Riders. Early in the month, David "Forgetful" ran out of his back door, tripped on his shoe cleaner, dove onto the ground and broke his hip.

•   Tom “Cowboy” Ratican suffered a small stroke and spent some time in the hospital.

•   Curt “Slick” Pearson had a blood clot in his lung and spent a week in the hospital.

•   “Miss” Marge Schenk had a blood clot in her leg and spent some time in the hospital.

•   Yours truly (Dusty) found out I had an irregular heart beat and had to get a pacemaker installed. They said it was a simple operation, takes about one and a half hours, out patient. I hate it when a doctor says "oops!" He accidently punched a hole in the vein going to my heart and blood was filling my chest cavity. My long stay in the hospital was because of the "oops." I could not breathe well until sometime in January. I guess getting old makes healing take longer. At least now I'm getting better.

•   Just after the first of the year, one of our honored members, Dale Rickard joined the gang at the Ranch-in-the-Sky.

Sorry about missing the Newsletter for those months but just didn't have energy for them. I guess that's about all for now. Will keep you posted as to the happenings around here.

Happy Trails and Warm Campfires!
“Dusty”
