At Governor Bruce King's funeral today. He arrived at the head of the family procession into a full gym at Moriarty High School - Home of the Pintos (not Mustangs.)
The big crowd of King lovers was rich with politicians of all offices and stripes, fellow ranchers carrying cowboy hats, media men and women, service men and women, and just folk.
The hymn signing was touching, not corny and I want When the Roll is Called Up Yonder I'll Be There sung at my memorial service.
Clinton was greeted with standing applause at the beginning and end of his brief talk when he told of his friendship with King over the 30 years since they first met. I couldn't hear well - no one could. But he told of King admitting to him on one occasion that he just didn't have the "resentment gene."
Update - Roundhouse Roundup's Terrell has the story and a KOB video link.
