NORTHWEST CORNER (Cont'd.)
Just received a nice letter from
Mitzi Williams en route home from
the Celebration. Lew and Mitzi
sold two brood mares from Mitzi-
Lew R anch in Tennessee, both by
MIDNIGHT SUN and both safely
in foal to GO BOYS SUN. One
went to Bob Guinn. The other went
to Hank Sheely of Dallas. MID­
NIGHT JANE, the mare Mr. Guinn
bought, is a full sister to his MID­
NIGHT MOON, a mare who won
the mare and colt class at the Cele­
bration several years back. Mitzi
remarked she hated to part with
them, but they are still “cutting
down” at Mitzi-Lew Ranch and
too, “it sure doesn’t hurt SUN to
have his colts spread around the
country.”
She describes a fabulous time
back at the Celebration. Practically
has me packing my bags a year
ahead of time, ‘cause it’s “dead or
alive, the Celebration in ’65” for
the Wiehls! The descriptions of
friendly people, fine horses, warm
OCTOBER, 1964
hospitality, and to cap it all a few
details such as “barbecued spare
ribs,” which really “got” me “right
here” makes one want to rush
through the calendar to next years
Celebration time.
As a result of her fourth trip
back to the Celebration, traveling
both ways with trainer, Chester
Gillespie, it seems Fou Fou, Mitzi’s
darling black miniature poodle,
now has acquired a pronouced
Southern accent. (Chester was bom
and raised in Walking Horse coun­
try. While he has left the country,
some of Tennessee is still with
him.) Besides the poodle, Chester
is travelling with another cele­
brity. TOWN AND COUNTRY,
the gelding who was third in the
gelding stake, and second in the
amateur gelding stake at this years
Celebration, on successive nights,
is traveling Westward to Mitzi-
Lew Ranch with Mr. Gillespie.
(Picture of “Town and Country”
in August VOICE, page 10) Mitzi
describes him as “sure pretty,”
“tough,” “lean,” and “fine as a
deer.” She was referring to the
gelding, TOWN AND COUNTRY.
One thing sure, we on the Coast
have something to look forward to
in the shows coming up, namely,
Mitzi up on TOWN AND COUN­
TRY. Welcome to the West, boy,
and good luck!
