I was very lucky when I was a little kid I got to meet Smiley Burnett and sit next to him during the rodeo ( there was a reunion of the 101 Oldtimers Assoc.) cowboys and girls from the 101 ranch and show where they made the very first westerns, I also at the rodeo got to meet Rex Allen we did trick roping for him he was also very nice! Lash LaRue was here for a Cherokee Strip Celebration and my daught and I both got to have him use awhip to get a playing card out of our hand. When I was in grade school during the Ponca Pow Wow they had brought in Jay Silverheels He was sooooo tall to me!
James Garner was here but, I did not get to meet him the closest I got was the Centinel Parade last year in OKC.
And Ken Curtis was here for a paraed Milburn Stone was suposed to come but he had a heart attack and was unable to attened, at the last performance I was waiting for the autographs to start and they anounced KC had to leave they had a plane waiting on him and he rode Ruth to the plane and left I started to cry, but a family friend handed me a program he had autographed for me the night before it helped but ....
Those were the ones I was sooooo lucky to meet, I wish I could have met more of my heros!
