Why wait four effing years?

Yeah, that part I haven't figured out. :)
Except that I hear an echo of Mr. Twist saying, "Like most of Jack's ideas, it never come to pass." Maybe this one almost didn't come to pass either, and then one night Jack actually wrote the postcard and mailed it.

I forgot to say in my post with the pictures that there is a picture most of us have probably seen, of Lureen, Bobby, and JACK sitting on the bed. That never made it into the movie, I think to emphasize that the Stud Duck didn't allow him room on the bed or in the intimate family circle.
Does anybody know where that pic is? Sad it isn't included. But understandable.

Hmmm... I never thought of that, that's a good point you're making!

Ever wondered how Jack "heard" Ennis was in Riverton?

You bet! ;D
Maybe it was somebody who knew Ennis who came through Childress on the rodeo circuit. Jack could have met somebody who knew Ennis that way, even if Jack wasn't rodeoing any more.
