Sheriff's Notes

Message from Our Sheriff

Congratulations are in order for a member of our Corral. We are proud to announce that long-time member and creator of the Western History Symposium, Fred Veil, has received this year’s Westerners International Living Legend Award. This honor is presented to a Westerner who is recognized by his peers for their “long service, leadership, recruitment, publication, lecturing and problem-solving”. Fred’s contributions to the Prescott Corral certainly meet those criteria. A presentation for Fred will be held at the May meeting.

Our sincere appreciation to Harvey Leake for his February presentation about his great-grandmother, Louisa Wetherill, and her close relationship with the Navajo elder, Wolfkiller.

Thank you, member Vickie Sheridan, for updating our Corral plaque at the Western Heritage Center. It now contains the names of all our Corral Sheriffs since our inception in 1962.

If you are a Daily Courier subscriber, you may have noticed articles about our upcoming meeting presentations. We welcome the guests and new members that have attended after reading those articles.

The latest edition of the Westerners International newsletter, the Buckskin Bulletin, can be accessed on our website.

Once again, our Corral is pleased to be a sponsor for the Prescott World’s Oldest Rodeo and now the Arizona Cowboy Poets Gathering. Look for our logo in their promotional materials.

Hope to see y’all at our May meeting!

Sheriff Shelly
