Melvin Henry Stroud

Dear Ann and family, Melvin is the best cowboy and neighbor I ever new. He took me on wonderous trail rides; taught me how to safely ride up & down a steep incline, how to stop a "biter", and how to control a spirited horse (while not breaking his spirit). Below is a funny story that shows how down to earth Melvin was. Our family had just moved to the country when Melvin stopped by to welcome us to the neighborhood. (I was a very young teen at the time). He stood up and said he would be right...

We were so sorry to hear about Mel. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
