Gordie Peer, of Okeechobee, Florida, is also handy with a trick
rope.

Wayne Cornish said, “When we went to Sun Ridge Retirement
Community for dinner I thought they were looking for
recruits. I was afraid to go in.

Larry McKinney, incognito, in those shades. No one will know
he’s a rodeo clown.

Monk Carden, age 97, no doubt looking for a ‘red nose’ to wear.

By golly! It fits!
