From the lens Sonny Sikes -- My Grandpa, My Hero!.

I'm looking for suggestions for more good articles, photos, videos, blog posts, etc about this person. Think of this like the "External Resources" part of a Wikipedia page. What references would you add about my superhero?

    I have know of Mr. Sikes for a long time in my life around Rodeo and my son was on the rodeo team at Hill College. Not going to mention the name, but I have a friend that lives or did live near him. What is your relationship? This is a nice tribute lens. I have been trying to put one together about my grandfather.

    Hi there,
    I would like to run a portion of your "Hero" page in the NIRA's newspaper, Collegiate Arena. We happen to be HUGE fans of your grandparents and think this would be great in the paper. Would you approve of that? And, if so, please email me at sarah@collegerodeo.com. Thank you very much! Sincerely, Sarah Neely

    Sonny Sikes is not only a great cowboy, a wonderful husband and father, and a hero to his grandchildren, he's been one of my best friends for 30 plus years. He has helped me in so many ways and is NEVER afraid to share words of advice and encouragement (or admonishment, when needed). I consider myself immensely blessed to have Sonny Sikes as a friend and colleague and treasure every minute I get to spend in his presence.

    Mr. Sikes is a great man. I rodeoed for him for 2 years and really appreciate him. I consider him a great cowboy and someone I enjoyed being around. We picked on each other from day one. I see him at the TYRA rodeo every year at Huntsville and sit and visit with him. I have shared many good stories with my son Reid about Mr. Sikes.

    I lived and worked with LN Sikes for 2 years in the late 1970's. He changed my life and altered my direction in life. I went on to get my Doctorate in Animal Science, much of that was do to LN.

    My daily association with Jack and Bobby, changed my life and I would like to thanks them. I would appreaciate any assistance in getting in touch with them.

    Mike

    @Mike - I can definitely get you in touch with my grandfather, and most likely Jack as well. Bobby passed away some time ago.

    I rodeoed at Sam Houston in the 60's when Sonny was the one to beat in the ropeing events and Ira Arkers was the one to beat in the rought stock events.They went on to win it all. Bobby Sikes lived with us. and he was pretty darn good himself. Those were some good days.

    I asked my grandfather about you and he said, "You were a big ol boy. A good ol boy from North Carolina. He definitely remembered you, and said you bulldogged for him."

    I suspect he remembers most of the cowboys and cowgirls he's coached!

    I was one of those cowboys. I am a Sam Houston graduate and Mr. Sonny to us was a great and wonderful person to a couple guys from North Carolina

    He's the reason kids want to grow up to be cowboys. Those boys and girls didn't know till now they wanted to grow up to be Sonny Sikes.
