"I hate onions, always have, when I was a kid I remember my father saying, "Buckles when you grow up, you will discover how delicious they can be on a cheeseburger!"
One of two statements that never came true, the other was "Mark my words, one of these days "Tommy" will blow up and hurt somebody!"
I wonder how many people posed for a picture with this gentle giant during his lifetime?

Sorry about the onions pal as
you are missing some delicious
treats in very many forms but
I'm not sorry about Tommy as 1
of the most recognized bulls
Of my fond recollections was
Jean Charles (Tarzan) riding on
Tommy at great speed & grabbing
a web to swing into his arena
I know two thanks to the smiling fellow in this photo. (How did EB get you to smile anyway??)
Someone else deserves the credit for this one since it is NOT one of my photos.
Tommy spent his few retirement
years at Patty's Williston place
He was euthanized in December of
2002 at the age of 58 when it was
determined that he was suffering
severely from arthritis & old age
He had quite a show biz career
& left many friends behind
I believe dear Anna May was 57
when she died 2 years later to
the day in 04 at Scott Riddle's
place in Greenbriar Arkansas
These were both very special
animals enjoyed by many folks
both in & out of the business
