Pic 09 ... Richard Batchelor and horse ( Shadow ) at
Gladys City event in 1984. I think I was the
first Pony Express rider to use radio communications.
Shadow wasn't too thrilled about it though. Notice
that I wore the same old telegraph operator
clothing every year. And as the years went by,
my code speed jumped from 8 words per minute
up to 10 words per minute in only 6 years.
