In Reference to: THE LION WHO LAY DOWN WITH THE LAMB

I believe we have talked before, so this will be nothing new to you.

This is in regard to Little Tyke. There are so many articles on the web about Tyke, and I have not read them all, but I can tell you this, there is so many false statements in what you write, (unfortunately you cant help it, since you got it from the book, which was NOT written by George H. Westbeau).

My Mother and her husband were NOT at the zoo the day Tyke was born. My Mother dictated the book to her husband, who in turn decided to try and make it more interesting by changing it by adding stories which were NOT true. Because of this, my Mother refused to read the book because of all the erroneous additions George had inserted.

Many years later and after his death, Mother and I decided to get a different publisher and re-write the book. We did this and due to the fact the Publisher screwed up, most of the original book was re-used. The publisher did put in a section that did tell the truth and Titled, written by Cal Cantrill and his Mother.

Among other things Hidden Valley Ranch was in Auburn Washington, NOT California.

Sincerely

Cal Cantrill
