And thank you on the pictures!<br /><br />Andrew, that's interesting. Which Six Flags? Or is there only one Six Flags with that name still? Our amusement park in Denver was Six Flags, but is now Elitch's.<br /><br />Beverly, I agree! If he'd gotten to meet the actress he had a crush on, I'm sure he could have won her over. People certainly didn't complain about him.Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-23345612991602534312012-04-15T14:41:19.353-06:002012-04-15T14:41:19.353-06:00Nick, I agree, but he was actually providing a val...Nick, I agree, but he was actually providing a valuable service, and he kept the law (despite his little side issues) where no one else was willing.<br /><br />Debra, I thought that was pretty hysterical! Messed up, but valid.<br /><br />Chuck, it's fun to know I could give you a little extra info!<br /><br />Donna, thanks for stopping by! Good luck to you.<br /><br />Matt, interesting. So they are drawn to the filth?<br /><br />Sabrina, oh I agree on the psych eval. I feel like he redeemed some of his lackluster methods a bit by helping others, but it doesn't necessarily make him sane, haha.<br /><br />Soggy, a bunch of people have mentioned that movie, and I feel like I need to check it out! No one has mentioned a title yet, though? He did so love Lilly Langtree. It's sad he couldn't meet her before his death, but maybe somewhere up there he knows she came around after he died.Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-30554841743158914612012-04-15T14:37:09.379-06:002012-04-15T14:37:09.379-06:00Clee, he was certainly colorful!

I had a relative, on my mother's father's side, who was a Territorial Marshal in Indian Territory. I have not yet been able to figure out if he was on the white side or the Indian side, but I'd figure white.<br /><br />Alex, thank you so much!<br /><br />Sherry, I am, too. He didn't really harm anyone else, and I believe the folks around him appreciated him. <br /><br />Jemi, they are, aren't they?<br /><br />Loverofwords, I think you put it just right.

My brother is a police officer, and they have to handle issues with judges veerrrrrryyyy carefully.<br /><br />Kathleen, the Judge had a crush on Lilly Langtree. He kept trying to get her to come visit. After he died, knowing of his feelings for her, she did finally come out to visit the town he'd last served in, even visiting his saloon/courtroom, I believe. I was going to include that info, but I'm so wordy as it is that I had to trim that part.<br /><br />Ms Hatch, I haven't seen the Judge Roy Bean movie(s?), but I'm betting like most of other folks from this time, the treatment was much more honorable than the reality.<br /><br />Gossip Grl, I do think he was, at the very least, eccentric.<br /><br />Annalisa, I can certainly back that up! I had two clinging to my leg in Florida last summer!<br /><br />Meloday-Mae, I'm definitely glad to help with that!<br /><br />50 foot QE, I agree, definitely.Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-13891901777098904382012-04-13T08:57:04.508-06:002012-04-13T08:57:04.508-06:00Colorful doesn't seem like a strong enough wor...Colorful doesn't seem like a strong enough word to describe him.<br /><br />Crazy but charismatic, perhaps.
