"First thing you notice is the voice. Just the sound evokes the Spirit of the West. The second thing is that he's every bit the gentlemen he seems to be on the radio." - Williams Lake Free Press

"On behalf of the 400 banquet guests who enjoyed your after dinner presentation I want to express my sincere appreciation. Your word pictures and inspiring stories will stay with us for years to come." - Dr. David Challack, Chairman National Holstien Convention

"It goes without saying that we can do the best job in hiring a speaker and outlining our desired results but unless we have true professionals on the other end our efforts are fruitless. Hugh, you did a GREAT job with the "Spirit of the West" Sunrise breakfast and we owe you a big thank you. We received a pile of favorable comments about your great presentation. Thanks for making us look so good." - Debbie Kaylor, Director of conventions NCBA, Denver

"Your presentation and participation at our convention was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Many people have contacted me since to ask about having you at their events. As they said, your weekly radio show is the highlight of their week." - Bob Kaufman, P.Ag, section president, International Society for Range Management.

"People attending our convention were pleasantly surprised at the caliber of speakers we had and your presentation was the highlight of the whole event. Your evening presentation was highly entertaining and inspiring. The next morning we heard you as a professional broadcaster and you led our group into the workshop on media relations with ease. The audience and guest panelists expressed their appreciation for your professional participation."- Isabel McPerson, Executive Director, Foothills Forage Association.

This combination of working rancher, radio personality, cowboy poet and motivational speaker never fails to deliver. Hugh's varied interest, lifestyle and wealth of experience show in the excellent performance he delivers. A must see and hear for any group. - Bill & Darlene Freding, Oliver, B.C.

Hugh, just a note with a special thanks. The BC Cowboy Hall of Fame induction ceremony would not be the same without you as the evening emcee. You always add a special touch to the weekend of the Kamloops Cowboy Festival with your presentation. Your presence on stage during the rest of the weekend, doing both poetry and pickin', is always enjoyed by all. Thank you, and see you next year! - Mark McMillan, Festival Chairman, Kamloops Cowboy Festival.

Here are some coments about the "Spirit of the West" Radio show:

Hugh, Good Morning. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy listening to your weekly Spirit of the West broadcast via the web. I really enjoy listening to all the hard working folks who still hold the traditions of the West in high regard. Whether it be singing songs about the Cowboy's Life, livestock care, raising and training a horse from birth who soon becomes a best friend, Spirit of the West always takes me back home. Even though I was born and raised in Montana, I have always loved Canada and all the Canadians who still hold true to the Spirit of the West. My wife and I travel to Montana, Canada and Arizona as much as possible and see a lot of change (much of this change is for the worse) but, when you leave the beaten path and visit the farms, ranches and talk to those who love the land as it was years ago, I can see there is still hope for a bright future for our children and grandchildren. All I ask is that you and all your supporters stay true to the Spirit of the West and keep up the great work! Sincerely, Dan

"We so often forget about our core audience in country radio today. Include The Spirit of the West in your weekend schedule and they'll love you. It's like reading a classic novel." Tom Tompkins, Standard Radio Inc.

Hugh I just wanted to say you have one of the best western radio shows that I ever listened to. The guests are excellent and the topics are very interesting. One day I could get to talk to you as I find the life of cowboys in different parts of western Canada interesting to listen to. Many have great experience in cowboying and ranching. Continue the good work on the Spirit of the West radio show. It is great. Best of regards, Bob Solomon.

Hi Hugh, I hear you on CFCW every Sunday morning and enjoy your show! Thanks for doing such a great job!

Hi There! Just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed this weeks' broadcast! Makes me feel right at home with old friends! Enjoyed the stories by Mr.Rose from Quilchena, and I believe he spoke with me at my booth in Cranbrook. I think he'd be a cartoon series in himself! You're doing a great job, and I hope people tell you that regularly! Friendy, WENDY
