"His tall stature set him apart from most of the others I knew. His long legs, slight build and narrow chest made him appear lanky. His reddish hair, his large dark brown eyes, and his straight noise suited him just fine. A good looking fella; no getting around it. And, downright handsome when dressed in his best. ...He had a not too unpleasant disposition; easygoing most of the time but, he'd become nervous and excitable occasionally, and sometimes he'd get downright cantankerous. ...I knew him for three years. We spent an hour or two every afternoon together. Many weekends he and I enjoyed hours together walking through our woodlands, over alfalfa fields, between farmer's cornrows and along dusty back roads, and meandering creek banks. ...Astride my horse Bill; I'd see myself swinging into his saddle as an angry bear charged at us; chasing off a stalking mountain lion by banging my coffee tin against a frying pan and hanging onto Bill's tail as he pulls me across a swollen creek. I'd re-live my Uncle Vic's cowboy adventures as if his were mine. ...As I became a man I put away those youthful daydream adventures, but each of my sixty-something birthdays has reminded me -- I wanna be a cowboy."
