“This is kind of hard to believe. It has been a long time since all of it happened. You kind of accept whatever goes on, but then when they let me know it was like thinking about it all over again and it really means a lot. I really spent a lot of time rodeoing, and this ended up as my climax for what I set out to do.” LORETTA MANUEL

“This (being recognized by the ProRodeo Hall of Fame as the Ken Stemler Pioneer Award recipient) means a lot to me and my family. This is a great honor for us to get this, and we appreciate being able to get to be in the Hall of Fame. I never imagined something like this would happen to me, being from Davie, Fla., this is a great privilege.” TROY WEEKLEY
