Benefit Peformance for Frank & Betty Gleeson
June 6 2009
Calvary Community Church
1205 Rogers Way
Kamloops BC

Frank and Betty Gleeson lost their home to a fire. Frank is one of Canada's favourite cowboy poets and the official Poet Laureate of Williams Lake. He has performed at cowboy poetry gatherings throughout western Canada and the US. Frank says that he is thankful that he and his wife Betty got out of the fire unharmed. They did however, lose everything and, although they had insurance they are finding now that they were seriously under insured.

A group of fellow performers held a benefit concert for Saturday June 6, 2009 at the Calvary Community Church on Rogers Way in Kamloops. Featured performers included; Gary Fjellgaard, Hugh McLennan, Tom Cole, Rob Dinwoodie, Gordie West, Butch Falk, Matt Johnston, and Mike Puhallo. A relief fund has been set up through the BC Cowboy Heritage Society.
