------------------------
495I remember Zan. He had a Bar/Night club on the river road between Lewiston, Idaho and Kamiah, Idaho. I went there frequently with my mother, Arleen Alice Pitts, and Brannon Guy Jordan (Zan is his Uncle) before and after they were married. Zan used to pick me up all the time and dance the slow songs with me. I was very fond of him. As a tourist attraction, he had a live couger tethered to a rope and sometimes in a cage. I always felt so bad for the animal but Van was fond of it and I believe it was treated well. Even so, I know it's life had to be unbearably sad.
