: I know we are talking about two Jrs. Jr Lewis
: could buy some amateur roper's horse who
: looked liked a $1500 dink and make him look
: like a star. He knew what he wanted in a
: horse. Your right right Roany that gray
: horse was about as good as they come. He may
: not been fast afoot , but he scored great
: and sure stopped. He had a App horse that
: worked like a dead ringer to gray. I didn't
: see those two horses he had at the end. One
: was the horse of the year and the other was
: close behind. Bet they had that same stamp
: as Grey!

: I learned a lot from Jr Garrison and Jr
: Lewis.
: Even now as a old geezer roping in my home
: pen, I can still hear those guys hollering
: at me at ways to better my horsemanship and
: roping skills. Jr always had time to help.
: Jr was a good horseman, I think he learned
: from Slim Whaley.
: In 1970, he won the title riding that good
: paint horse that I can remember as one of
: the best. Mel Potter brought that horse a
: few years later. Watching Jr and Zane
: Tibbetts work their horses was a very good
: learning experience. They use to haul
: together.
: Rest in Peace Jr.
