Bio: Ranch Staff, 1953-65Descriptor: White Grass stories deserving to be told, e.g., ‘pigs in the girl’s cabin.’


Rachel’s Story: Do believe White Grass was the beginning of adult life for many of us not all memories to be put in print. Anyway, one year out of England and finding White Grass was hard to understand. The WEST, a word that said COWBOYS and INDIANS, where were they —those stories later. For now just a few headliners, hoping some of you can elaborate on —— pigs in the girls cabin, dead bats hanging on the end of the light pulls in the bathhouse, frog sandwiches, bears in the cooler, trapping live bears, horses running all around park housing in Moose – Doug McClaren was not pleased, dude ranch rodeo at TV, Leonard, Dolores and ??? who came from Nevis (West Indies) to help in the summers, Mount Gay Rum brought from Nevis before it was available in the U.S. – Frank burying a car outside cabin #6 to help with sewage drainage!! This is my entry for today. More later.
