This is a story about Glenn Lewis and others that worked the Chupadero back in the 60s. Going Across The Border As a final entry about the Chupadero tonight, I’ll leave you with perhaps the wildest story to come out of that place. At the center of the story is Glenn Lewis, a well known Marble Falls cowboy that made the trek down south whenever it was roundup time. Glenn is distantly related to me, but we shared a lot of time together growing up and he was one of my first employees when I went in the construct business … Continue reading Glenn Lewis and a Few Others Down on the Chupadero.

The ranch had a blue gelding that they had tried to break for a long time, but never could get him where he would not buck. By this time he was around a 5 year old. He was in the pen and they keep messing with him and putting a young Mexican cowboy on him. Each time he’d throw him off.Glenn finally tied the horse in a chute, blindfolded him and got the rider in the saddle. Then he took a rope and tied that cowboys feet and stirrups together underneath the horse.

It Took Me Weeks To Figure Out Why She Was Upset.

lewisotr

Not long after we married in 1971, I came home with Madeline a brand new 1972 Dodge Demon automobile. It was an absolute beauty. White with a White Pearlescent Vinyl Top and Snowy White Interior. Very sporty but not in a hot rod sort of way. More in a very hot, young chick sort of way. That baby had all the beauty and innocents that my new wife had. My Dad had gone with me to Austin’s Dependable Dodge on I-35 between St. John’s & US 183, to buy it. I needed him to drive my pickup back. What better … Continue reading It Took Me Weeks To Figure Out Why She Was Upset.

Glenn And The New Game Warden

lewisotr

A new game warden was assigned to Marble Falls. He and the DPS Officer at the time would gather at the Yacht Cafe with all the cowboy/rancher types that would met in the morning after their rounds. With everyone sitting around a table one morning the subject came up about road hunting. The Game Warden looked at Glenn and said “I know you are doing it and when I catch you I’m going to put you in jail”. Glenn didn’t appreciate being called out like that and several of the men had to restrain him to keep there for being … Continue reading Glenn And The New Game Warden

lewisotr

Back in early 70s Cec had some business to take care of in San Antonio, so he loaded up Bonnie Gay and Nonie and lit out south in Brown Parkers “98” Oldsmobile. With the business out of the way the women folk wanted to go by the Farmer’s Market in downtown San Antonio to get a bunch of fruits and vegetables to take back home. Cec never was much on shopping so he just pulled up on the street and let them out and made the block and parked so he could watch the door for them to come out. … Continue reading Cec and the 3 Card Monte Game
