Abstract

In the spring of 1984 Shelley Armitage invited me to lecture at West Texas State in Canyon, Texas. She and a colleague met me, and after dropping off my bags, they asked if I wanted to go for a ride to see a special place. It was a beautiful spring afternoon and I was glad for the fresh air. I remember seeing two sights I will never forget: one was living Texas longhorns in the brush, and the other was the beauty of the descent and drive through Palo Duro Canyon.
