Joe Graddy pointing out what you need to look for in a Longhorn!

Mr. Graddy, that's a lotta bull!  ;-)

Donna McGee, Patty Gladden, and SETLA's newest member - Richard Parrish. 

Welcome, Richard!

Yvonne Sessions and Karen Sloan make up the Fund Raising Committee for SETLA.  These ladies planned a silent auction that was held in conjunction with Joe's Field Day event.  Yvonne watched the table in case there were any questions, while Donna McGee did a little shopping.

Rick Deal, Bradley Cooley, and Jim Gladden.

The New Year's Field Event was held in the Florida Panhandle and was hosted by Jim & Patty Gladden, Rick & Glenda Deal, and Bobby & Susie Floyd.  The event included a tour to nationally known artist Bradley Cooley's studio. 

Here's a sample of the beautiful work from Bradley Cooley.

Big horns . . .

. . . pretty faces!

Another pretty face with big horns!

"Nice spots, huh?"

"I'm gonna need to see some ID before you come any further . . ."

"I look like mama!"

"I'm hiding - you can't see me."

Handsome!

"This is my best side - take the picture quick!"

"Look, Bessie - it's more tourists."

Terry King, Michael Sessions, and Danny Guffey visit at the Field Event.

Mr. Joe explaining the finer points of Longhorns to Chris Shows.

A young apprentice?

Bradley Shows, Chris Shows, and Mr. Joe. 
Bradley was obviously impressed with what he saw that day as he got the Longhorn fever and around June of 2008 he owned his first registered Texas Longhorn!  He is youngest member of SETLA.

Careful where you step, fellas!

Everyone had a great time at the April 2008 Field Event hosted by Joe Graddy of Wiregrass Longhorns!

Congratulations to Patty Gladden - this photo was one of the winners in our photo contest!  "Say ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
