--Reminisce / Those Were the Good 'Ol Days~~

----A GIFT FROM LASH~~
--By: C. Jan Tootle

--AS A CHILD growing up in Savannah, Georgia, I spent Saturday mornings at the movie theater watching my favorite cowboys: Roy Rogers,"King of the Cowboys"; Gene Autry, "The Singing Cowboy"; and Lash La Rue, "King of the Bullwhips."

Cut to many years later: I was working at my pharmacy, and an elderly gentleman came in and handed me a prescription to fill. The name on the piece of paper was Lash La Rue! I hadn't recognized him, but I was as excited as any young boy meeting a favorite movie star! I quickly filled his prescription, telling him there was no charge because of all the joy he had brought me.

A few weeks later, I received a great surprise, a package from Mr. La Rue containing an autographed picture and a real bullwhip, which is now one of my prized possessions! --- ~~
