Bio: Ranch Staff, 1953-65Descriptor: The passing of Chick Galey and the extended familiar ties among many White Grassers.


Rachel’s Story: Chick (Charles Lord) Galey died in Sheridan Wyoming, two days ago – February 3rd 2010. Chick was a cousin of Frank Galey. He came to the White Grass in the late 40’s from his home in the East. Later he was to run cattle in Lame Deer Montana, close to the Crow Agency. He married Frickie Mifflin, who had been part of White Grass in the early 50’s. They lived near Sheridan most of their married life -one of their children is the present Frank Galey (a professor at the University of Wyoming).

For those of you who remember Liz Verney, also a White Grasser, she is a niece of Frickie Galey. This is just another story of the ongoing association so many have and continue to have with the ranch ————– therefore your stories are hopefully to be seen on these pages very soon.
