Done bucking
Dear Editor,
I would like to thank Curtis and Nick, along with all the Free Lance staff for the ultimate award this cowboy has received - "Honor".
To each and everyone who touched my life this past weekend with a handshake, hug, kiss, Coors, shot of J.D. and those prayers that were heard above by God and my dad.
Mom, my soul mate Gloria and dear friends who I assured I was only going to turn the bull out of the chute - I'm sorry I fed ya a line of bull. But there is a bright side. With the three broken ribs I received Friday night, my knee no longer hurts. Go figure.
This tear and ink is for all of you.
Joe Cousins, Hollister
