On a recent vacation to Wyoming I brought my recording equipment so I could record an episode with Bill Cawley. This is episode was recorded in Bill's house on the Walton Ranch in Jackson, Wy. We sat in his living room and just talked about his life. I worked for Bill 12 years ago and spend as much time as I can with him when I'm in town. 4 of my 5 brothers have worked or currently work for Bill as well. Bill celebrated his 80th birthday this year and is still very much involved. He's a wealth of knowledge and has great life experiences. Enjoy! There was some background noise from equipment (they were in the middle of Hay season)
