Anne and Dean going to a Halloween Costume Party

Anne and I dressed in "cowboy clothes" --we didn't have to buy any. These are the same chaps, spurs, and the boots from the same maker in Nogales,AZ. -Paul Bond that we used when we gathered wild cattle on the Spring Mountain Ranch of Vera Krupp's near Las Vegas. The vet business was slow in 1963 so we gathered wild cows for a living. Really hard work but so exciting.
My chaps were made for me in 1963 in a saddle shop in North Las Vegas.
Anne is wearing a good Stetson that Charles bought for me 5 years ago-I am wearing an old pre Washington Bailey hat. Anne is wearing the same spurs she used in 1963 chasing wild cows.

We had fun dressing "back up" to go to a Halloween Costume party thrown by our good friends Debby and Mike Smith. It is interesting that Anne and I still wear exactly the same size hats and custom made boots. Some things never change. Only difference-we are not currently "packing".
