his mother to her room, jumped up and put his arms around her

notes.
The young Earp presents
an imposing figure and his-
torical photographs of Wyatt
Earp reveal the strong fam-
ily resemblance. Actor Sam
Elliott once said of him, "Look
him in the eye and you know
he's not a joke." Earp stands
6'4" , weighs 200 pounds,
sports a black Stetson, a west-
ern belK light gray ostrich
boots and, occasionally, a
mustache quite similar to
his ancestor.
And although some Holly-
wood agents have suggested
he change his name, because
it seems like a gimmick, Earp
has stuck to his guns on that
issue. He dropped his first
name of Glen and even per-
suaded his mother to call him
Wyatt.
"I'm so completely comfort-
able in the western genre,"
Earp says. "I love movies
with the grit of rural America
because I believe that embod-
ies the American spirit."
(Since the movie came out,
G. Wyatt did a short
documentry about the movie
Tombstone. He acted as an
M.C. and sometimes this seg-
ment is shown on a pay-for-
view channel after the movie.)

eign cooperation and investments, to his small Kiev apartment for
a chili supper, he opened the door to sharing his western tradi-
I
tions. One conversation led to another and after only a few months
in the Ukraine, Aven was doing a country western radio show, with
Lakamov's encouragement• On that show, he introduced the
Ukraines to the music of some of his favorite western singers,
especially Garth Brooks, Clint Black, Reba McEntire and Willie
Nelson. ~|
Aven compares Kiev and Moscow to "the wild west of the 1900s" ~|
and says the Ukraine, which has now been independent from Rus-
sia for four years, is very much like his native Oklahoma was a
century ago. "It's a very hard life in the Ukraine," he says, "just as .~
it was a hard life here I00 years ago for our pioneers. ,,~
"Someone had to come and settle the American West--to make ,~
this the great country it is today. Originally many Europeans
helped settle the West, especially in Oklahoma and Texas, where
there are large German and Russian communities. I'm part of
that heritage and I feel privileged to be at this point in history
where I can share my own western heritage," Aven says. .t
"For me, living in the Ukraine is a pioneering effort, There is no
new frontier for a cowboy in America. I consider the Ukraine the
cowboy's frontier today." ~c
Aven cuts an interesting figure on the streets of Kiev. Dressed in' ~,
a black felt Resistol, silver-tipped cowboy boots, a long black leather
drover coat and typical western garb, Aven invites conversation, ~,;
whether he's standing in the bread lines with other Ukraines or
riding the over-crowded buses. ~Since I'm the only American who
dresses in cowboy attire, they definitely recognize me now on the
streets of Kiev," Aven says. "They definitely know I'm from out of
town.
"They were surprised to discover that Americans would still dress
like the early day cowboys. They have seen cowboys in films, but [~
they had never seen them in real life. They think they don' exist ~
any more," he says.
Aven confides that during his first few months in Kiev, Ukraini-
ans could not understand why an American cowboy would want to
share their meager, backward lifestyle and suffer their hardships.
"While our mission with the Peace Corps is to serve as business
advisors, we are also supposed to establish a better understanding
of what an American is really like. Being from Oklahoma, I could
think of nothing better than sharing my western heritage,~ he notes.
He realized, however, how quickly he had become a stereotypical
figure, on the day he didn't dress western and also didn't wear his
cowboy hat.
"The minister of communications told me, 'Don't ever let the
Ukraines see you without your cowboy hat again. Wearing that
means to them that you are still in touch with your traditions,"
Aven relates.
"That made me realize how more fully how important the tradi-
tions of the American West are to these people• To them, the
cowboy is a symbol of world wide freedom. And freedom is just as
important to a country that has been oppressed for three centu-
ries as it is for American cowboys riding the range."
