"I was very pleased to see that the HISTORY channel took time out from informing us about pawn shops,truck drivers, and trawler fishing to do a very entertaining scripted show about the Hatfield & McCoy feud. I was able to look past the modern…"
"I just watched the version film of "Three Godfathers". There were 3 different films of it made in something like 15 years......this one shows Walter Brennan at his best!!! Chester Morris plays the part John Wayne acted so well for John…"
"Larry,
It is indeed a small world. My father was in a B-24 Squadron stationed in England and had a chance to ride in an observation plane flown by Gene Short. I have a family photograph taken in Plains during a Family Reunion in the late 1920's…"

"Jim,
Got this question that I don't know the answer. Do you?
Hi Bob,
Did the Calvary train their horses in dressage? I would like to know if this is true. Thank you for your time and if you would like to visit my
web site and sign my guest…"
Hey pard, how ya been?.....
you should make you a Face Book page up,
so we can stay in contact better. Got any cool projects
in the works....art or movie/reenacting wise?
Jim-
Got laid off back in October,which really has been a god-send,
as I spend almost everyday painting, and have been pursuing work
in the Living History venues I know. Am waiting to see if a job with the History channel comes thru or not. Other than that just painting away. Just finished a painting of a gunfighter (watercolor)
You should give facebook a try, I found it really lots easier to navigate than MySpace. I use it to upload my artwork and keep in touch with LH friends back east.
I just started working with a gallery again after about six years
away from them.....a friend of Dave Powell's in Montana, so far so good. I love the movie & TV stuff, but they rarely seem to have
the budget to warrant working on one for very long. I tried Ebay,for art sales for a while this summer & Fall, but the economy went to hell
along with art prices.
Thanks for the comments. The next article will be out in True West in the April issue on the Fort Pierre to Deadwood Trail ride. I'll let you know what I hear from Deadwood.
Nice shootin there Jim, whered them boys get all them matchin white ponies. All those blue uniforms kinda make a southern mixed breed boy like myself a little nervous. Really like the South Dakota area, up there last winter, if you could do somethin about all that snow I would move there. Last time we had that much white stuff on the ground the cotton gin blew up.

Hay Jim. Heading your way this summer, Look forward to seeing it again. I was out there around 25 years ago, I suppose things have changed. Glenn
