Charles Lester (Chub) Myers was born May 18, 1933, in Egnar, Colorado to Martha Alice Snyder Myers Bradfield and Claude William Myers.
Chub was a hard worker and always busy at something. He wore many hats and could do anything. He always said, "Even if I didn't know how to do something I would never admit it." He could always learn and he did. His dad passed away when he was 5 years old, so his mother was both a mom and dad. She did a wonderful job. He started working when he was 8 years old helping his parents cow puncher friends. They helped him grow up to be a cowboy. Well not really a cowboy, but a cowpuncher. He says a cowpuncher takes care of cattle on the range. He loved it and was a good cowpuncher.
In the 1960's he was a mechanic and truck driver. He was under sheriff under Bob Johnson and Deputy Marshall under Leonard Higgins. He worked as safety engineer for Union Carbide for 29 years having to retire due to a heart attack. He served on the Town Board, Health Clinic board school board and a retired volunteer fireman.
