Images courtesy of the Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History Two old Waldo Stockbreeders' Association members, Dennis Dilts and Jack Cutts come to life in 'Cowboy Memories' written by Dilts. Jack is a legendary Elko horse trader, cowboy, and storyteller, and Dennis is an author, cowboy, bush worker, and owner of the WD Ranch. The Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History is currently working with the Waldo Stockbreeders Association on a new online exhibit to document the Stockbreeders' organizational history and membership since 1939. Association members continue to produce a large volume of cattle for local and broader distribution. Dilts in 'Cowboy Memories' very aptly catches the essence of these men and women still on the ranches of East Kootenay. His horse inspired the poem 'Billy Bay' featured in the book.
