Mikel Lemons is a product of being raised with "Cowboy Philosophy." He demonstrates the rules real cowboys live by every day. Mike has worked on ranches, attended Sul Ross State University, taught Industrial Technology in public schools, raises Red Angus cattle and quarter horses and teaches agriculture and horsemanship classes at Odessa College. Dr. Lemons is a cowboy "Jack of all Trades" and has mastered several of them. He is a true craftsman and exemplifies the "Cowboy Philosophy." Mike teaches by example and has helped numerous students develop the "Cowboy Philosophy." He and his wife Martha have raised their son and daughter in this manner and I believe this book would be an excellent guide for parenting and improving one's life whether you are a cowboy or not. - Coach Jim Watkins (retired rodeo coach)
