has relative ties to the famous trick roper and actor of the 1930s Will
Rogers by way of his great grandmother McSpadden.

When Marty was in his early grade school years
he would walk to his grandmothers house after
school everyday. She would give him a treat and
tell him stories about growing up in the west.
Delia rode in a wagon across the largest county in
Oklahoma called Osage from the Vinita area to
meet her husband Dale. Dale worked in the 101
Ranch Wild West Show performing and training
horses. Marty's grandmother also told him stories
about the Pawnee Bill Wild West Shows and her
visits with Will Rogers. One of her favorite sorties
was about the unveiling of the Pioneer Woman in
1930. She said Will had everyone rolling with
laughter when he commented about the Pioneer
Woman having a girdle on the prairie. After the
unveiling of the statue Will and Delia had a picnic
together and she recalls him talking to her about
the pickled watermelon that was so popular. Delia
received letters from Will over the years from
places he had visited around the world. One of the

As a trick roper and retired professional rodeo competitor I know the
importance of staying physically fit. For the summer of 2016 I will be telling
stories of my heritage and explaining how exercise and practice contributed
to my success. I encourage our youth to become physically active and I do this
through a structured lesson in warming up, stretching and rope spinning.
Little known fact: In Los Angeles a (Trick Roping) Rope Spinning exercise class
is held throughout the year at the YMCA. There is really no trick to trick roping.
It is a skill similar to jump roping. It is acquired physical movement and
dedication to practice.
There is a limited number of days I can attend summer reading programs. For
2016 OLS performance are a special rate of $300 so please email Jennifer your
dates and questions at the address below.
