Introduction 

I want to thank Barb Taylor for offering to be my beta reader.  I also

want to thank her for all the encouragement she gave me

in creating this story.  Her knowledge of the various Laramie episodes is

amazing. Without her help I could not have found

enough details from the DVD's to elaborate on the incidents alluded to

in the series.  What started out to be an eight page

short story grew into more of a monster than I expected. 

Barb, next to Jess, you are my hero. 

I hope you enjoy my imagination and how it built this story.
