After all, it was the 1980’s.

Harold Roe Bartle
Future politician as Mayor of Kansas City, MO

Hat in hand in Casper, WY where he worked as an official with the Boy Scouts of America. (6/16/1923). In 1928, Bartle was named the Scout Executive of the Kansas City area council, and he established the Tribe of the Mic-O-Say of the Arapaho people.

Estes Park, CO (~1930)

Wearing an Arminto type hat as a member of the Saddle and Sirloin Club, Kansas City, MO.

As Mayor shown with the Lone Ranger Clayton Moore at Children’s Mercy Hospital. The young girl is showing Moore a picture of herself at age 3 with the disease she overcame, likely polio. Bartle is holding a box containing a Lone Ranger Silver Bullet souvenir for the girl. (~1961).

Bartle was given the name Lone Bear by an Arapaho chief & he went by the name Chief Lone Bear in the Mic-O-Say tribe organization.

Mayor Bartle gets credit for convincing Lamar Hunt to move his American Football League Dallas Texans to Kansas City in 1963. Hunt & his team GM Jack Steadman renamed the team the Kansas City Chiefs in honor of Harold Roe Bartle.

I found this pic researching the Kansas City Saddle and Sirloin Club taken in 1959 at a rodeo in Tucson, AZ. I count 6 Arminto style & wonder if they could all be Knox? The one in the LF of the pic is definitely blocked like mine. The pic helps to date them too. Saddle & Sirloin Club was founded in 1945.

Theodore ‘Ted’ Clayton Llewellyn (1928 - 2022)

Shown on his horse Red Rider. Longtime member & past president of the Kansas City Saddle and Sirloin Club, & served on the American Royal Board of Governors. The Llewellyn’s maintained a home in CA where he was a member of Rancheros Vistadores, Verde Vaqueros, & also Round Up Riders of the Rockies. Maybe some of these hats will turn up some day.

Great pic, HJ. The color of some reminds me of my 3X. Mine came in the cattleman. Some great individualism in that pic.

Dan Dillon “Deever” Casement (1868 - 1953)

Kansas cowboy, stockman, railroad builder, WWI soldier, author & philosopher, rugged individualist but a patriot. Said to be an "educated roughneck” holding degrees from Princeton & Columbia Universities. He strongly advocated for the conservation of natural resources, of land & water, & published frequently his views against open range free grazing (see what I did there?) as indefensible & untenable; & for smaller government & less federal involvement in the private sector.
