Jim's close friend Ted Staples also accompanied him to look at ranch land over a period of a couple of years, and Mary went along on one occasion -- Dec. 31, 1963. But that last summer of 1964, Jim had put money down on a ranch he intended to buy without Mary seeing the property. Right after her husband was killed, she was quoted in a Texas newspaper as saying she had intended to go see the land by riding along on Big Blue on Jim's next tour, which was to have taken him back to Texas.
