I listened to stories my grandparents and father told me of life in Texas when they lived there; read Larry McMurtry and his tales of the Hat Creek Cattle Company and Livery Emporium crew; and saw the Disney versions of "Texas John Slaughter," "Pecos Bill and Sloughfoot Sue," and "Old Yeller" - I was pretty happy living in Texas when I did.
