If rodeo distributed a
most-valuable-player award, a rodeo secretary would win it every time.
This statement sums it up: Rodeo secretaries are the hardest-working
people in rodeo
you'll never see. Secretaries prepare entry lists - an impossible job
for most people and all men - she tallies the results, and cuts the
paychecks when the rodeo is over.
In the meantime, she is generally a wife,
cook, and stand-in mother to young cowboys who need help with,
a variety of things. In short, she solves all the problems before they
become problems. Now, that is valuable.
