Inductees in both the Living and Deceased categories, as well as the Tad Lucas Memorial Award and Ben Johnson Memorial Award recipients, includes: LIVING - Ricky Bolin - Bobby W. “Hooter” Brown - Richard Neale “Tuff” Hedeman - Cody Lambert - Jerome Robinson - Bobby and Sid Steiner (father and son) DECEASED - John (1887 – 1973) and Thomas (1915 – 1981) Rhodes (father and son) - Jim W.

  • Rodeo Cowgirls : an Ambivalent Arena
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Audra Leah Oliver for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Museums Studies, History, and Anthropology presented on March 17, 1994. Title: Rodeo Cowgirls: An Ambivalent Arena Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Don E. Mcllvenna The term "cowboy" was closely bound to American image long before the 1990s. Rodeo claimed the image of the cowboy from the earliest contests to the latest and pledged itself to patriotism almost as early. This historical study was conducted viewing rodeo as a subculture and relating women's role in the sport in terms of both subculture and over-all American culture. Research substantiated that the cowboy remained linked to the image of America at the time the paper was researched and written. Rodeo attitudes toward cowgirls reflect the ambivalence that cowgirls and American women in general found themselves facing internally and externally.
