KEEP TALKING—Cont.
Fine advertising for the Celebra­
tion results from word-of-mouth ad­
vertising and Mrs. Rex (Chris) Bar­
ger’s attendance at the Silver Anni­
versary Big Show was a good example.
In sending in her subscription to the
Voice she said:
“Through talking with Marvin Wil­
son and the folks at Kiblers (Paul
Whitehead and Mr. Bohl) I have got­
ten the Celebration bug, and will leave
lunch-making and taking (the kids to
school) to my husband so I can be
present at the Silver Anniversary. Hope
I will get to say hello to you in person
and wish you luck in continuing the
Voice operations.”

New Friend In Kokomo, Ind.
Alfred A. Ball of R.R. 6, Box 373,
Kokomo, Ind., could not attend the
Celebration due to a coronary condi­
tion but he is soaking up all available
reading material about the Tennessee
Walking Horse. He subscribed to the
Voice, asked for our Biography, and
says he has three volumes of Famous
Saddle Horses by Suzanne, and also
has The American Saddle Horse by
Earl Farshler.
He also makes a suggestion about
classified advertising that we have
passed on to the new management.
This Editor-In-Chief job has relieved
me of all such responsibilities, and I
am most glad. Also mighty glad to hear
from a kind gentleman from Indiana
like Alfred A. Ball must be.

A Special Friend Heard From
Mrs. G. E. (lone) Erickson, Box 18,
Route 7, Union Gap, Wash, qualifies
as an extra-special friend of the Green
family. She always remembers our an­
niversary. Mrs. Erickson also tells us
that she raised a colt without her
mother . . . but omitted details. Some
friends also borrowed her magazines
about showing horses and forgot to re­
turn them. We will try to fill in but do
not have a single first issue left — and
also there are blanks in some other
dates, i.e. May, July, 1962; and Jan-
urary. April, 1963. Mrs. Erickson, in­
cidentally, especially likes these Regis­
trations Mary Frances works so hard
to get.
From Two “Horse Wanters”
Here’s a letter that touches our
hearts:
“Dear Sir: I don’t exactly know
what catagory of Horse Lover we fall
under. We’re not owners — mostly
‘wanters’—avid ‘Show Watchers’—but
definitely ‘Tennessee Walking Horse
Lovers. Imagine our delight and sur­
prise upon receiving our first issue
of the VTWH to read that our favorite
trainer, Billy Liles of Hy-Tyre Farms,
Gibsonia, Pa., will be one of the judges
at the Celebration.
“Our area is slowly gaining in Walk­
ing Horse popularity and Hy-Tyre’s
‘Waltzing Matilda’ is and has been the
first in the Tri-State in my estima­
tion. We have thought for a long time
that she is Lexington and Celebration
material.
“This year at Lexington we did sec
a TWH named ‘Sun’s Delight’ to thrill
us in the way Billy Liles and ‘Tillic’
have. We love our first issue of the
Voice and await eagerly the next one.
Sincerely. Mr. and Mrs. Robert L.
West, 63, Wcirton Mine Road, Mor­
gantown, West Va.”
Welcome! New Owners
“We have just bought our first
Walking Filly and know absolutely
nothing about them but we arc having
her trained and hope to learn our­
selves,” says a leter from Mrs. Lola
Rcdeman — wife of Bill, 1108 Preston
Drive, Nashville 6, Tenn. So natural­
ly they subscribed to the Voice and we
predict they will learn a lot from just
reading. And that filly will teach them
too — with a lot of added happiness
to their lives.
