STEPPING   STONE

Pictured in the header photo from a newspaper with James Dean is Candy's father, Frank Klump, on the set of 'The Giant' filmed in Marfa, TX in 1955.  Candy and her sister, Peggy, now a well known dressage trainer and judge, frequently rode the pony in the photo, Little King [no connection to the Miniature].

Many more photos to come . . . . .
