WESTERN, NY - Mother Nature has not been kind to the town of Western this July. First, a tornado ripped through the community, about two weeks later, torrential rain and flooding.
Thursday, dozens of residents took a much-needed break from their hardships and headed to the Western Town Park for a night of fun and magic. Local magician Leon Etienne was on hand to perform some of his classic magic tricks, and he had no shortage of eager young volunteers.
In the afterlife of art and literature, in the sweet by and by, I imagine retired Texas Ranger Gus McRae on the porch of the celestial ranch house teasing Ramona the Pest and whistling for that old dog Ribsy to run the pigs out of the yard.
Two literary giants, Beverly Cleary and Larry McMurtry, died on the same day, March 25, 2021.
Cleary was 104. During her career, she sold more than 90 million copies of her books, most of which chronicled the adventures of Ramona (the Pest) Quimby, her big sister Beezus, Henry Huggins and his dog, Ribsy.
McMurtry was 84. The Pulitzer Prize-winner penned dozens of books, including âThe Last Picture Show,â âTerms of Endearment,â and the greatest western adventure ever written, âLonesome Dove.â
