    TRANSCRIPT—WILLIAM LEONARD Interviewee: WILLIAM LEONARD Interviewer: SAMUEL BAKER Interview Date: March 25th, 2013 Location: The Citadel, Capers Hall, Charleston, South Carolina Length: 1 hour, 38 minutes, and 15 seconds SAMUEL BAKER: Hello, good afternoon. Today is March 25th, and we’re here at The Citadel for the Veteran’s History Project. And today I’m going to be interviewing Mr. William Leonard. Would you want to start off by telling us about your childhood here in Charleston beforehand? WILLIAM LEONARD: Let’s start by that I guess. I was born in Charleston, 97 Tradd Street, in May 17th, 1925. I was born into a family, two sisters, older sisters, and one brother, and I was the youngest in the family. And my mother was from the old, one of the old families of Charleston. And my father was what we call a maverick in Charleston. He was a fella that was born in Alabama—Birmingham, Alabama—and he came here when he was two years old in 19—in 1896. And he was never a Charlestonian. But he married into a Charleston family so that made him be, be, in. He always—my father doesn’t like Charlestonians. SB: Very well, fair enough. WL: But anyway, made him a little [bit of an] outsider. I went to local schools. And ended up by going to a school in Mt. Pleasant because they started a new school over there, and they had girls in there, and I was 16 years old and was quite interested in girls. Graduated from over there in 1943, and immediately my father put me in The Citadel.

Given the absolutely abhorrent conditions that are currently plaguing your city and entire state, your efforts should be attempting to figure out your homeless problem!! Communication from Public Name: Date Submitted: 05/17/2021 01:38 PM Council File No: 20-1575 Comments for Public Posting: Please Do NOT Ban Rodeo and Bull Riding in Los Angeles! This ordinance is unnecessary – PBR already takes great care of the bulls!! - The health and safety of the animals in bull riding is paramount. These animal athletes get the best care and live a great life – extending four to five times as long as the average bull. - PBR stock contractors make their living by breeding, training, and working with their animal athletes. They truly love these animal athletes, treat them as a member of their own family, and have many safeguards in place to ensure their care. - The bulls in PBR are not wild animals forced to compete – they’re bred and trained for their jobs. Bulls buck because of their genetics. They are not abused or coerced to compete. The flank straps and dull spurs used in PBR do NOT harm the bulls. - In addition to bringing millions of dollars of economic impact to LA, bull riding teaches important values like hard work, charity, respect, responsibility, and honesty. The sport is inclusive and promotes equality.

  • Rodeo Cut Down
    EXT. RODEO PARKING LOT - NIGHT The dirt parking lot is filled with pickup trucks. PEOPLE wearing cowboy hats, wrangler shirts, and boots walk toward the entrance to the rodeo, kicking up dust. COUNTRY MUSIC can be heard as the People get closer to the entrance. A banner that spans the entrance to the rodeo reads: EL PASO CHARITY PRO RODEO The HARPER family - EARL, 37, MAXINE, 32, YOUNG CODY, 11 and YOUNG DOYLE, 9 - head toward the rodeo entrance. They are all in western attire - cowboy hats, button down shirts, jeans, and boots. Earl has sharp blue eyes and a permanent five o’clock shadow. He’s a tall man, about 6’2, and well built from years of working assembly lines. Maxine is a southern belle with a sweet, angelic face and kind eyes. The only blemishes she has are bruises on her neck and a scar that runs the length of her hand. Young Cody and Young Doyle are inseparable. Cody has Earl’s eyes - a deep blue - while Doyle takes after Maxine. The Harper’s enter the rodeo. EXT. VENDOR AREA - MOMENTS LATER Hay bales line the vending area. Booths are filled with cowboy hats, chaps, saddle raffles, BBQ, beer and toys. Cody and Doyle take everything in. They frolic ahead, bewildered and mesmerized. EXT. PLAY BULL RIDE - MOMENTS LATER Four large MEN in cowboy hats and jeans stand at four corners of an amusement ride holding ropes that attach to a suspended fake bull which hangs atop a blow up mattress.

Herring Theodore Friend Committee Member, R. Neil Hooper Head of Department, Gary R. Acuff December 2008 Major Subject: Animal Science iii ABSTRACT Evaluation of Traits Associated with Bucking Bull Performance and Behavior. (December 2008) Natasha Elizabeth Romero, B.S., Texas A&M University Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Andy D. Herring Dr. Theodore Friend Video and industry data were used to assess the inter-relationships of aggression, delivery, coat color, year of birth, number of outs, buckoff percent and score in rodeo bulls. An evaluation of laterality based on observations of how the individual animals were loaded into chutes at 11 bull riding events showed 63% left-handed delivery and 37% right-handed delivery across all observations (n = 525). There was a similar distribution for aggressiveness (based on whether or not the bull charged after the rider dismounted) with 64% of bulls being non-aggressive and 36% of bulls being aggressive. Significant linear relationships existed between score and number of outs and score and buckoff percentage indicating that experience impacted performance.
