I chose Morgan Earp as my "Old West person. He a cantankerous man who's life was cut short. My thought was to try and bring him to life if he hadn’t been bush whacked. I also at times portray Ben Thompson along with a factitious judge and a Doctor o…

cowboys ledgends or jsut a group of men

In todays times in our groups and organizations we often try to take on the persona of the cowboy legends. now don't get me wrong I ain't knocking anyone who wants to be doc or Wyatt or Matt but what confuses me is why try to be them. and not be like them.

and the grownups who held fear… Continue
