Glen Jackson was a wealthy financial advisor in New York City, his days consumed by spreadsheets and client portfolios in a glass tower high above the streets.
He dreamed of the West with its wide open spaces, a ranch of his own where he could live simply under endless skies.
One summer, Glen traveled to a guest ranch to learn horseback riding, fence mending, and cattle herding. During this experience, he realized with certainty that he would never be a real cowboy.
Thirty-two years later, Glen died peacefully at that same guest ranch, having spent every remaining dollar he earned to become a permanent guest and live the life of a "part-time" cowboy.
Glen is dead.
