A Good Rancher
James Ottoman and wife Rita are real nice folks. “You got to get the horse to trust you. You see these horses are a lot like us”, James counseled me as he educated me about horse and cattle ranching. James had seen me walking along the highway and later inquired about what I was doing. “This man walked to Rockport all the way from Alaska”, he told the local newspaper reporter by telephone. From that a nice article about my journey, and effort to end Malaria, appeared in the local weekly newspaper.
