The OH Ranch gift to the Calgary Stampede Foundation

The gift, given by local philanthropist, rancher and businessman Bill Siebens, valued at more than $11 million and the largest ever received by the Foundation, also includes the OH brand and the ranch's historic buildings, such as the 1885 ranch house, the old cookhouse and a replica North West Mounted Police cabin.

This ranch belonged to my grandmother Marion Florence Bunn -Whatley's grandfather, Orville Hawkins Smith and his partner Lafayette French. The O H stands for his name. I've written a book on my great-great grandfather..and will be putting it out this year. He was truly a smart man, and a pioneer of Alberta, Canada.
