The year was 1982. That’s the year Smart Little Lena won the Futurity, “E.T.” was the movie to watch and in cutting circles, if you wanted a laugh, “Cuttin’ Capers” was the book to read.

The introduction to that little 142-page book states,

It all started quite innocently. One person and then another would entertain a group of us at horse shows with hysterical tales of days gone by. We held our sides, wiped tears from our eyes and thoroughly enjoyed laughing at those antics, some innocent and some mischievously planned. We forgot about the electricity bill that needed paying, the installment notes coming due and the rising cost of living. Instead, we laughed.

Then someone would adamantly say, “These stories need to be recorded!” Time and again similar statements were made and that year, the same year “E.T.” kept the movie houses full and Smart Little Lena filled the coliseum, the little paperback book called “Cuttin’ Capers” was born.

What fun it was to write! Needless to day, it didn’t take long before they were sold out.

History, though is a keeper, and even now, almost 20 years later I receive requests for “Cuttin’ Capers”.
