Randy Cowan's Story

On March 28, 2020, we received a short story from Randy Cowan sating: "My mom ran Buffalo Park in the 60s. I remember going to work with her every summer. I would hang out with the guy that drove the Stagecoach and I would sit up top with him. I remember one time mom made me stay and eat lunch boy was I made but lucky she did. On that trip out the horse's broke loose from the Stagecoach and drugged the driver across the rocks. He spent some time in the Hospital. A reporter from the Arizona Daily Sun came up to do a story and showed her where the Stagecoach was so she could take pictures and I got my picture taken and put in the paper standing by the Stagecoach."

After three hours of searching Newspapers Dot Com we finally found Randy's photo.  Thank You for the Story, Randy!  It is Much Appreciated!

Note that the accident happened on Tuesday August 13, 1968 and was featured on the front page of "The Arizona Daily Sun" Wednesday issue, August 14, 1968.
