Branding at the Focus Ranch
1952-53
Cowboys brand cattle at the Focus Ranch. The ranch was owned by Shorty and Lucy Temple. the donor remembers: "Shorty and Lucy Temple ran the ranch, with help from Pat who had just had her first child." "when I was 11 and 12, I spent time at the Focus Ranch from Des Plaines, Ill. With my parents and two younger brothers. What a fun time we had--riding horses, "helping" brand cattle, fishing in the river, talking to the cowboys, square dancing and all the other activities. My father donned blue jeans, a flannel shirt and cowboy hat for the first time in his life." Mary Drake
