Will Rogers became an important part of Cy Eberhart’s story.

As a hospital chaplain, Cy, now retired. was a first-hand witness to the entire specrum of emotions: individual successes and failures, the deepest despair, and great joy.

This ministry offered a laboratory-type setting to observe behavior in the most intense circumstances.

Two questions became paramount:

•How was it that some people could find inner strength that brought courage and hope and others could not?

•What could be learned from these experiences that would have a positive and creative effect for daily, routine living outside the hospital?

He found several answers in his understanding of  Will Rogers and the remarkable relationship he had with the people.

 From childhood on, Will Rogers had a single life ambition:To become a world champion trick roper.

As he pursued that goal, people noticed other things about him more important to them than his roping skills. In a sense he was the nation’s first blogger. His blogging from the stage, in newspapers, movies and on radtio showed an America where the human balance sheet was every bit as important and the financial balance sheet. In Rogers’ America, people mattered. People soon considered him to be the conscience of America. His comments carried so much wisdom and common sense that President Franklin D. Roosevelt said “he held the secret of banishing gloom, of making tears give way to laughter and supplanting desolation and despair with hope and courage.”
