OH CISCO/OH PONCHO!


      Again, all this recent nonsense about political correctness and other related nonsense, reminds me of a reference I started years ago with a good friend and old classmate, Jerry Roberts. For some reason years ago, I started addressing him by saying Hey Cisco when calling him and he would answer by saying- Hey Poncho!

        I was not doing it as a slur to Mexicans or Hispanics in any way. It was just a silly way addressing my greeting to a dear friend. And, maybe just as important, one of my all-time favorite western cowboys was Cisco and Poncho. I loved those guys just as much as Hopalong Cassidy and even more than Roy Rogers or Gene Autrey!
