Dr. Fouts - As a freshman at OU in 1970-71, I was a part of your early experimentations at Dr. Lemmon's ranch. I worked primarily with Cindy, who proved to be a challenge to teach. I also worked with Booie who was not only absolutely adorable but smart. He loved manipulating me and stole my heart. I will never forget those happy memories I have as a young adult walking into the barn and having Cindy or Booie run to me and jump into my arms....it was a joy I cannot describe.
