The Ol Cowboy 1939 out west.

	Here is the Ol' Cowboy. The way he'd like us to remember him just before he retired.
	He was born in southwest Missouri, 1872. As he grew and things changed, he moved around a bit to do what he loved best, being a cowboy.
	His parents came to the United States from Ireland, to find more land and eventually after crossing the Missouri river, moved westward.
	His name- Patrick Francis Fitzgerald - Died 1947
	His story is my way of saying, 'Let us not forget our American past.' Those strong men and woman that forged our future and gave us great roots to grow from.
	His 12 year old grandson, who has long since grown up, and is himself ready to retire soon, rides across town to the rest home nearly every day to visit.


	I write the story as it comes to me and I post it as fast as possible. I strive to write 1 part a week, but it doesn't always happen that way. Thank You, Jim.
