JANUARY 15,1981
Jerry Lackey's
Country Folk
When visiting the homeplace of the famous race
horse, Chick Called Sue, one is suddenly confronted
with the fact that there's nothing but famous brood-
mare material in this Aubrey Stokes remuda.
The beautiful two story home on a hill overlooking
the Concho River a few miles drive from Stokes law
office in downtown San Angelo is not set apart too far
in comfort from the barn that houses the houses hor-
ses. 'They are all my babies,' smiles Stokes.
For him, 'Grils' are among the finest in quarter
horse racing, a sport he defends with bibical fever.
As public relationsman and overseer of the West
Texas Rehabilitation Center's Southwest Texas Re-
gion, 1 was called to the Stokes El Rancho Contento to
receive papers for a yearling colt. Stokes has donated
this colt 'bred in the purple, from both the dam and
the sire's side to WTRC.' Registration application
gives, Wes Texan, as the first choice for a name.
The yearling foaled February 2, 1980 in a grandson
of Three Oh's that won the All American and sired
1 many great horses that have been futurity finalists
and winners including this colt's sire, Sinn Fein, who
has a speed index of 98.
This stallion is the son of Watch Rebel Go who has a
Registration of Merit in racing and a member of the
Stokes broodmare band. Watch Rebel Go is the sister
to Madam Betterfly who is a multiple stakes race qual-
ifier in many races in Sunland Park, Ruidosa and Tuc-
son, Arizona. She obtained her speed index of 101
winning at Tucson.
Watch Rebel Go's other half-sister is Fauna Dar-
go who is a stake winner with a spped index of 93.
That this means is, that their dam, Watch Rebel Go,
who has a Registration of Merit in racing, is a winner.
Madam Betterfly with a speed index of 101 and Fauna
Dargo who is a stakes winner with speed index of 93.
Stokes says that Rehab Colt has been nominated for
the 1982 All American Futurity and the winner in that
race will get $1 million. 'Prior to the sale, I plan to al-
so nominate him for the Kindergarten which will be
run in Los Alamitos, California,’ He added.
I expected Stokes to give some of the earnings from
the colt to Cattleman's Round-Up for Crippled Chil-
dren, a division of WTRC. Thusly, I was ovetjoyed
when he prepared a transfer certificate so that the
funds from the sale of the horse will go to WTRC.
And when he added: 'I want that to go to the new
building fund of Rehab-San Angelo to help the little
crippled children," we were all beside ourselves.
This may seem like another tale of a proud horse-
man and his horses. Yet, it's a story told over and ov-
er again since the beginning of WTRC in 1953. With-
out the compassion of men and women across the
Southwest the calibrator of Aubrey Stokes, there
would not be a place of hope and beginning-again for
8,000 individuals every year.

CARPENTER
Once a Master Carpenter worked with divine tools creating gifts of love, joy and hope. His simple touch
could mend a broken heart or repair a soul. For any who would ask. He carved an individual purpose
in life and produced a deep inner peace at no cost. This Carpenter is still smoothing out personal
frustrations for all who put faith in His work. To ask Him for help should be easy enough. The hard
part is already over. -Paul M, Stevens
