I attended the memorial service for Popeye today. It was so amazing to hear the testimonials of those Champions that were helped by Popeye and Jan Boultinghouse.

Jake Barnes told of being just a kid when Popeye took him in and taught him about roping, what a good horse was and how to become a champion.

Tee Woolman also gave his testimony about the value that Popeye brought to his life. How he was always available as a friend and a mentor.

Both of those men and others there today told about what a fine man that Popeye was. How much that he taught them about what it took to be a winner. A winner in and out of the arena.
