Cowboy Clown

Rich Frishman

Everett Herald

GeeGee Ecklund follows the rodeo circuit every weekend from April to November to kneel down in dust and dirt in front of a pen of enraged bulls. A rodeo clown for six years, the 23-year-old Ecklund is a carpenter during the week. 'It's not for the money. No money's enough to risk your life. It's for the pat on the back and knowin' you did your job well.'
