75 Year Old " Rodeo Cowboy " With Hand Rolled Cigarette

Monse Washington

Old " Katter " of Monse has seen and done it all. He broke horses in his early days near Naches, Wash. where he was born to " Orchard Workers " Worked hard his whole life and even today at 75 still has quite a build to him.. Say's he has been " Smokin N Drinkin " since he was four years old and been in a number of fights growing up. ( LOst a few teeth in those fights he says,, with a great smile ) Katter is a pleasant reminder of what America " Use To Be Like " before large corperate greed took over and shipped most our jobs overseas to save a few bucks , reguardless of American Family that got screwed over in job losses.... Thanks Katter For Your Great Tales!!!
