Lucas, I could not agree more, this is such a "clean" site, everything is laid out so neatly (yes, i'm a Virgo!) plenty of interesting doors to enter, a wee surprise every so often leading to other avenues of searching & plenty of nice folk too boot. Since you brought the subject up in the first place, I will gladly take the opportunity to congratulate you on your own site, I use it a lot too. As with Marcelle, the care & attention you so obviously lavish upon your site is a credit both to you personaly and to the level of regard with which you hold the subject matter of the "Old West" in general & "The Kid" in particular.

Looking at the words "The Kid" I can't help but think of James Dean, Buddy Holly, Jimmy Hendrix, Abraham Lincoln, Stonewall Jackson, John Lennon, John Kennedy et all. I do not think that you have nessesarily to "die young" to "live forever" I guess you just have to do it at the right time, was "Bushy" really Billy? Did Butch  survive Bolivia? Was Custer a bloody a self obsessed fool? to be honest, who really cares? The fact is that they and all the others you may care to name that would fit into this category all have one thing in common, as Shakespeare said (nearly) "Age shall not wither them, nor custon make stale" how fitting is that?

There I go again, sorry, back to the subject in hand, Lucas, Marcelle, keep you wicks trimmed and your matches handy.

Marcelle,

  Thanks for the welcome!  I am glad to see that your site has become so successful.  You definitely deserve it!  Yes, we do go back a ways and it is sure good to talk to you again.  Drop me an e-mail sometime if you get the time and feel like it.  Thanks also to everyone who posted above for complimenting my website.  Maybe before too long I will get to go back out to New Mexico and get some more updated pictures, info, etc. for my Billy the Kid Website.  Thanks and I will try to stop by for some discussions here from time to time.
