President The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo continues to be a major success story because we maintain its rich Western her- itage while being open to change. Despite the current success of the Show, we can never afford to become complacent. We must look to our future with the same vision that brought us where we are today. Our staff looks to improve the Show each year after analyz- ing feedback from our volunteers, staff, sponsors and cus- tomers. Sometimes a slight revision is in order, while other times require a complete overhaul. There are several major changes in 1998, most notably the new layout of the grounds. The “footprint” for the 1998 Show has been changed to a more customer-friendly design. Destination: AGVENTURE and AGVENTURE Grandstand will be placed closer to the Astrodome, making both more accessible. The main carnival will extend along Circle Drive, from the West entrance to the North entrance of the Astrodome, allowing expansion for the World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest. 1 By Beverly Rosenbaum the Show because of conflicting activities.

    Hey guys. And welcome back to another episode of the ride. This is Nicole. And this is Jillian. And today we got to sit down and talk to Elaine Bogan, who is a director over at Dreamworks. And she is coming out with her first feature film called Spirit Untamed, which, um, you know, if you grew up in the early two thousands or you were raising kids, then, uh, you've probably seen the original spirit stallion of the Cimarron. I know that it was a fan favorite of mine when I was a kid. I remember going to the movie theaters and seeing it. And, um, but now they're coming out with a new movie and it is headed to theaters this week. So by the time this podcast comes out, it'll actually have been in theaters over the weekend. It came out June 4th. Um, but I was so excited that they came out with a new film. And, uh, you know, now my friend's kids who they're raising are, are getting to, you know, experience the same thing that I kind of did when I was a kid. And I got to go to the theater. And see, um, you know, spirit in, in the big screen. And so, uh, Jillian and I actually got to watch the film a little earlier. Um, and so Jillian, what did you think of the film loves it? I, I thought that the overall storyline of showing a girl and the bond with her horse and how impactful that can be was, was very well done.

The following genealogical sketch was compiled in 1897. The crest is copied from John Rooney's "Genealogical History of Irish Families." It is not generally known that genuine royal blood courses in Colonel Cody's veins. He is a lineal descendant of Milesius, king of Spain, that famous monarch whose three sons, Heber, Heremon, and Ir, founded the first dynasty in Ireland, about the beginning of the Christian era. The Cody family comes through the line of Heremon. The original name was Tireach, which signifies "The Rocks." Muiredach Tireach, one of the first of this line, and son of Fiacha Straivetine, was crowned king of Ireland, Anno Domini 320. Another of the line became king of Connaught, Anno Domini 701. The possessions of the Sept were located in the present counties of Clare, Galway, and Mayo. The names Connaught-Gallway, after centuries, gradually contracted to Connallway, Connellway, Connelly, Conly, Cory, Coddy, Coidy, and Cody, and is clearly shown by ancient indentures still traceable among existing records.
