Author's Statement

Reflections of a Wanna B Cowboy is my personal life story. Reflections is a story about an unfulfilled dream. I wanted so much as a kid to be a cowboy on the Parker Ranch when I became a man-a dream I dreamed countless times. But as oft happens to so many of us, this life force called destiny intervened and altered my plan. With my oldest grandson Samuel's help as facilitator, in this autobiography of sixty snippets, I tell my story for our grandsons to remember their Tutu (grandma) and me by. Reflections has a larger message: we are citizens of the world.
