The new
issue of Ranch & Reata has been out
for a week or three and, as usual, its pages are filled with fine articles and
features about the American West we all know and love.
Grab your
subscriber copy (if you don’t subscribe, you should), and turn to page 68 where
you’ll find a story about a remarkable young woman from southeastern Idaho
named Kimberlyn Fitch. She’s a standout rodeo star and has also made a name for
herself in the cattle business, breeding club calves. When people wonder what
the world is coming to, I think of young folks like Kimberlyn and can’t help
but think things will be fine.
Then, on
page 127 is an article about my old friend James Fain. I got to know Jim at
Utah State University, where he was one of our rodeo coaches. He was already
well established as a rodeo action photographer and has since become a legend
in the arena. He’s taken pictures of cowboys famous and unknown at rodeos large
and small and earned every kind of recognition available in his field. (I’ll bet
you’ll find photos of Kimberlyn Fitch in his files.)
Read about
Kimberlyn and Jim (and look at the pictures) in the new Ranch & Reata. If you are not a subscriber, you can fix that
