I am from Wyoming,I entered Yellowstone gradeschool in Rock Springs in 1945
Went to junior high and highschool there 'till 1954. When I left home I went to Las Vegas,NV
where I got my first real job.
I worked as a long distance telephone operator there. That was before direct dialing became available.
Was never lucky enough to win a dime but met a lot of service people stationed at
Nellis Air Force Base and Indian Springs Air Force Base. That summer there was a big party at Indian Springs so my friends and I drove up there. There was a horse show and barrel racing and a dance afterwards.
I was riding a horse with a friend and for some
reason or other that horse reared up and I fell off and he promptly came down on my leg. Needless to say I missed the dance.
I have never been so sick from pain in my life.
I love horses but to this day I will not get on one. And that, dear friends, ended any hopes of my becoming a cowgirl.
