Howdy Doody

Me? Well, created in NYC by Buffalo Bob Smith in 1947. Top rated by 1950 and used as test pattern by the 4 NBC TV stations. Many friends made through the shows Peanut Gallery. I like to wear plaid shirts, red boots, jeans, arm bands, scarf and big yellow hat. I have 48 freckles. One for each state in the union. My head is made from knotty pine. My wife is Heidi Doody.

OK,Ok. Sorry, but I get carried away. Now here is the true story, if you believe it.

Born 1943. Served in the US Navy 12 years as aircrew P-3 Orion as a anti submarine warfare operator. Short version, sub hunter. College 2 years at Boston Univ. Trained in diesel mechanics and have worked off road on heavy equipment and at two mines, one a gold mine in Jamestown California. Went into truck repair and worked at a Peterbilt and a Freightliner dealers. Moved into the service office seven years ago and currently work as the night service manager at the Freightliner dealer in Bakersfield.

Discovered cowboy action shooting 1998 in Northern California. Currently reside in Bakersfield CA and am a member of, and shoot with The Cowboys club in Norco and I like to visit other SoCal clubs too. I am a member of the DAMMITT GANG, I also enjoy W3G and shoot with them in Piru CA. I shoot blackpowder!

Other than CAS, my other hobby is stained glass.
