The Shepherd

Kurt E. Smith

Yakima Herald-Republic

Bob Kerr is a shepherd. He takes care of his sheep the way most people take care of their children. Bob and his sheep spend 9 months of the year living atop a ridge, where the wind blows like mad. Bob uses an old pistol to fend off snakes. And watching him pass evenings knitting takes some getting used-to. But Bob loves what he's doing.
