I just returned from about 40 miles north of medicine bow where I spent a week on the 7E Ranch, owned by Ron Heward. My wife Lindsay and I live in Flagstaff Az. Lindsay grew up on that Ranch and we go up every summer for a week or two to see her parents and help on the Ranch. This year is special because on August 8th the Hewards celebrated this Ranch being in their Family for 100 years. Adam and Blake came up the little medicine river and showed up on August 6th. They asked if they could stay the night in the barn, and with family coming in to help set up for the celebration, that was about the only place available for them. Dad Heward told them they were welcome to stay and the horses were enjoying some good feed in a pasture along the river. We already had a good crew of family there to help set up so we were getting ready for a big dinner for everyone. One of the sons, Chad and his wife Martha brought with them two friends who are sisters, Epa 16 and Sana 17 years old who attend church with them back in Spanish Fork Utah to enjoy the celebration. They are of Samoan decent and are very talented Polenesian dancers. They had agreed to dance that evening for the family. So there we all were in Grandads work shop, enjoying a nice big meal with two cowboys passing through, watching polenesian dancers put on a show. I believe it was Blake that mentioned when asked "yeah, we get this every night". When Lindsay's sister Kim showed up and walked in at the end of dinner, she asked her husband Tom, "who are the dancin girls" -- Tom looked at her and said "Who are the cowboys"? We all had a great time! We so enjoyed getting to know Blake and Adam, that Grandad Heward told them the next morning that they were more than welcome to stay and give their horses a rest for a couple of days. Their would be a lot of good food and good company for the celebration. We had about 250 people there. Blake and Adam were big helps with setting up and cleaning up--there was a lot to do and they were happy to help. My wife Lindsay mentioned, you just don't see gentlemen much like that any more. Every time we saw them meet a friend or family member, they would stand, take off there hat and share their big warm smiles. They met many that came for the celebration and shared what they were doing and why. Everybody seemed to love them, especially the kids and the heartbroken dancin girls:) They will always be welcome at our home.

My daughter Kristy told me about them since she knows Adam. I couldn't believe 26 year olds were that giving, adventurous, and for real; therefore she and I met up with them in Medicine Bow, Wyoming and I shot some pics of them and put it together in a slideshow for friends. I figured you'd enjoy seeing where they are right now.

If you have some questions, PR is a good thing when your trying to raise money for the Cancer Society. I am sure I can put you in touch with some people to get some more detail.
