In Aman,
Jordan I purchased a head dress. When the two Caravans the
African and European met at the Yugoslavian border, the gear went
on the head and out to meet my Mother. The one pictues is that
meeting . |

Pee Wee is a behind the scenes element in the history of WBCCI. As Wally Byam said, Pee Wee “accompanied me on my first and last Caravan” Pee Wee was much more than a kid on an adventure of a lifetime. Even at a young age - he was 12 when he went with Wally on the first Caravan to Mexico and Central America – Pee Wee was in many ways, the son Wally never had. Pee Wee was given many key jobs on caravans, including guinea pig for ideas and plans, scout, diplomat, recorder, driver, all around errand boy, and confidant. When Wally needed a young squirt he could count on, the person he chose was Pee Wee. Wally Byam and Pee Wee's mother, Helen Byam Schwamborn may be the more visible foundation of WBCCI but Pee Wee had his own role to play in the development of the organization. |

Western Photographer Magazine article and pictures These photos and blurb are 28 years old. Ft. Tejon used begin in April and went until October, once a month. The last one was open to all of the state groups. Horses, cannons, bands, tents, a lot of fun. Ft. Tejon is a very interesting old military camp going back to the 1860's. |
