else. That one thing is important. Of course, it takes a smart wife to sense it. To be personal: all my life I had dreamed of owning a ranch one day. I wanted to breed horses. I knew nothing about equine blood lines, about buying or breeding horses, but one day I began to read everything I could find on the subject. The more I read, the more fascinated I became. Finally, I said to Sue, "Do you suppose we could find a little ranch somewhere in the Valley, not too far from the studio, where we could raise horses? Maybe also some chickens, a few fruit trees. . . ." As I remember it, my conversation dwindled at this point. Couching the dreams in words made them seem a little fantastic. Now Sue is a city girl. All she knew about a horse at that time was that it ate hay and traveled on four legs. Yet she looked at me searchingly, then smiled into my eyes and took my hand. "Let's start driving around on Sundays, scouting for a place to buy. I'd love to own a little ranch." We found it, we bought it; we bought our first horse at a great bargain, then learned that he had been lamed. We both literally loved the horse back to health and he repaid us by winning several races. Sue took to ranching as if the original dream had been hers, not mine. I should like to add that there are few more delightful sights than Sue in jeans and plaid shirt, driving a tractor! When I was invited to attend the Royal Command Performance in London in the Fall of 1949, Sue and I were in the midst of building a new home. The house was costing more than we had planned — it always works out that way — and we knew that the flight to England, plus the clothing we would need, plus the many incidentals of such a trip, would be expensive. If Sue had said she thought we couldn't afford to have me accept this great honor, I should have agreed. What she said was, "How wonderful for you! Of course you must go. You'll have a great time!" We both went. I couldn't have enjoyed it without my Susie. As I said in the beginning, the matrimonial formula that has worked for us might not work for another couple. Not many women nowadays are willing to pbandon their own pursuits entirely to become wives, and wives alone. Sue was we1] launched upon her second career, both having been highly successful, when we were married. Without question or backward glance, she gave up her own work and joined forces with me. Sue lives my life. She is with me at the studio almost every day. We have breakfast, luncheon and dinner together about three hundred days a year. She serves as safety valve, buffer, confidante, aide, and partner. Her devotion has been misunderstood and criticized, but she has never resented, never answered the critics. The thing that has always saved us when the going got rough has been our completely complementary senses of laughter. A sense of laughter is above and be It's TAMA 59!. ..The 1 World's Brightest Gem1^ ... for the World's Loveliest Girl!
