The membership of the Palmer Kiwanis surprised Gordon Ruoff by bringing a friend he never met in person to a recent meeting.. R.W. Hampton, who resides in New Mexico, and is known as the Last Real Cowboy is a noted singer of true cowboy music. Gordon and R.W. have had a long distance relationship ever since Gordon heard R.W. over the radio. He fell in love with his music and as this relationship grew Gordon provided R.W. with two of his prized Martin Guitars. Several months ago Gordon talked about R.W. at a club meeting. The membership was so impressed by this relationship that a couple of members, lead by Ken Kochey, started the ball rolling to bring R.W. to a meeting.
