Ha that's what I get for gloating.....forgot to mention WW and I both, since we live in the same town, are just a few minutes from where the original Goose Egg ranch was, made famous in the Virginian. That area sw of town is still refered to as the Goose Egg there is a restaurant of the same name which has been out there for upteen years.

A couple of times, when I was really little, mom and dad played for dances at the Roundup Club, also west of town. I remember falling asleep on the benches and dreaming about how all the babies were switched by the cowboys in that novel. I always had a bit of an uneasy feeling at that when I slept during the late night dances.
