We were either too poor to take a pony ride or there were no ponies in the city, because there are no “pony pictures” in my family. But who needs a pony? Even living in a big city like Philadelphia, we still had some tough cowboys to defend us! Here’s my favorite photo of my brother:
Drew in 1961 - If he could talk, I'm sure he'd quote John Wayne: "Out here a man settles his own problems."
With a gun in one hand, and a bottle in the other, he’s off to save the world. Or at least prevent his pacifier from being stolen.

What a great picture!!! How can things get better when you’ve got both a bottle AND a pacifier!!! 🙂 Great picture!
I see he’s already perfected the Clint Eastwood stare. What a tough guy!
Gotta say, that is a classic photo! Way more than cute!~!
Great post! LOL!!!
With a gun in one hand and a [baby] bottle in another, does a cowboy need anything else? Too cute.
That is one of the funniest photos I have ever seen!
Wonderful!
Thanks for all the nice comments! That photo kind of summarizes my true essence…modern cowboy, renaissance man, protector.
I still like guns and bottles, but I no longer wield both at the same time, and I never even touch a weapon after drinking!
I may try to re-create that pose with my own two year old son. He already has an ever-present pacifier and an assortment of toy guns. Although he has long given-up the bottle for a sippy cup, he’s got the Point-squint down pat!
Well, I don’t believe I ever saw that picture, but must say it IS adorable!
