About this title

About the Author:

Born in Silver City, New Mexico I was raised on our family ranch on Bear Creek, near Cliff and Gila, New Mexico. I graduated from Cliff High School and Western New Mexico University. We raised Hereford calves we sold as yearlings. We raised our own Quarter Horses for the ranch work. We also farmed, growing alfalfa, oats, and permanent pasture. When the ranch was supporting too many families, I went to the Sheriff's Dept. where I rose to senior patrol sergeant. I've worked construction, truck driving, and at local copper mines, where I still work operating huge electric shovels. My relaxation is spending time with my daughters, Tammy and Sandra, family, and friends, working in my pasture, and writing poems. They encouraged me to compile this book. I hope you enjoy it.
