Plains Folk: Remembering the career of Glen Clopton
When we last left off with Glen Clopton, he was a policeman in El Dorado. His next, and last, step in law enforcement was as an officer with the Kansas Highway, which he joined on July 5, 1949. One of the last things he experienced while an El Dorado policeman was a rodeo. A bum showed up in town and the cowboys thought it would be fun to enter him in the bareback bronc riding. They loaned him some spurs, which he managed to get on his worn-out oxford shoes. They also managed to get him mounted on the meanest bronc in the bareback string.
