Sid King’s Crazy Horse Bar

Hey, Trav!

Man, am I stoked! We’re heading to Denver for our first-ever National Western Stock Show in just a few days.

I was rummaging through some old stuff in Great-Grandma Peg’s attic and stumbled upon this incredible photo. It’s from the Stock Show but get this – in 1967!

(I’ve attached a scan of the photo to this email. Hope it comes through OK.)

There’s Peg having the time of her life, Great-grandpa Jim on the left, and Cousin Charlie on the right. They’re at Sid King’s Crazy Horse Bar. I checked online, and that joint was quite the hot shit back then.

Seeing this photo, I realized how wild and crazy they could be. It’s like looking at a completely different side of them, one that we never knew, and it makes me wonder what stories they could tell about those days. We should do one of those oral history things with them.

I’m bringing this photo with me to Denver. It feels like a good luck charm, a connection to our family’s past. This trip may be just as legendary for us as it was for them back in ’67. Can’t wait to make our own memories there!

Catch you soon, buddy. We’re going to have the time of our lives!
