Story I heard in Montana: For a publicity shot, Coop sat at a typewriter in the newsroom where he worked up there as a young man. For realism, he typed something. When the photogs, agents and the star had gone a reporter took the sheet out of the typewriter. It said, “This is a hell of a way to earn a living.”
He did parachute into my life but the animal shelter called him an “Aussie X” and he hasn’t shared any of the money. Actually, I had Gary Cooper in mind when I named him because, like that other Coop, he seemed like a strong, silent type.

Gotta ask: is the full name of this beautiful border collie “D. B. Cooper?”
