My dad was a cowboy on the King ranch back in the late 1940's before he left to join the Marines and fought in the Korean War. We re-visited in about 1977 and met the owners wife still in the main house. The bunk house dad and cowhands had slept in was gone. The owners wife remembered my dad, as, he had backed up the ranch's new pick up truck and crushed in it's tailgate. Dad had stayed in touch with the owners wife ,thru letters, during his combat tour in Korea .
