Welch s students presented an idea for a class project to do something in McMurtry s memory. The students asked if they could do a cattle drive. It was really all their idea and I let them do everything, said Welch.
Lonesome Dove was published in 1985, and follows two old men as they drive their cattle from Texas to Montana in the 1870s.
The idea grew, the whole school got involved and members of the community pitched in to hold the Larry McMurtry Cattle Drive and Student Showcase.
