February 6, 2020 Luncheon Meeting @ The Lodge at Ventana Canyon
Lin Cross, Author, Teacher & Traveler entertained us with stories about her very large family while highlighting her new book, "COWBOY to C.O.P.," a biography of the life of her brother. Kenneth "KR" Roy, who as a young boy in rural Kansas, expected to grow up as a cowboy, instead came to be known as The Best Small Town C.O.P. in America. Many of his exciting experiences and cases along the way are brought to life in this wonderful book.
She also encouraged us to keep notes or, even better, a journal noting exciting events and achievements in our lives. These stories can then be pass down to our future family members as interesting and historic ancestral memories. |
