Well, I ordered the book and never got it. My money most likely went to some cartel. I haven't talked to my friends Dad in about two years now.He sort of went of the deep end. Growing old and being a 30 year Marine vet don't go well together. I learned allot from him though. He got four purple hearts and the Silver Star. Served three tours in Vietnam and could have gone home after the second with his third purple heart, but said there was unfinished business, and didn't wont to leave his men.
He has the great great grandson of Cutter Bill. He used to go to all the Party's that Rex would throw down in Dallas and he always said that Rex wasn't guilty. That it was His ranch foreman's and seconds in command that were doing all the dirty dealing. Who knows though. I do know that all the Caubles I have met and know have had some kind of worm in there head.
But the one thing that will stay with me the rest of my live is when John Cauble and I were talking about his tours and life as a Marine, and he looked me in the I and said "Kelly when I got out the Marines my life was complete, everything else has been gravy". His basic training platoon was one of the last to repell of the side of the ships on those cargo nets. This was in the early 50s. He joined when he was 16, forged his dads signature. Hell of a man. Even with all that I know and all all the cool black belts I have, I would never be able to beat him in a fight, just because of his sheer will to survive. Even in his mid 70s and with one lung. Crazy SOB. He can really piss me off. I told him one day that he would live forever, because "The Devil is to damn afraid of you and God doesn't wont you fucken the place up."
Anyway I do hope to get the book. It is apart of north Texas history. Rex had a hell of a ranch and a legendary horse.
Redfive
