coast.

School with the Class of 1973 from the Cimarron High School located
in Cimarron, Kansas.
Allen married his
beloved wife Judith on November 3, 1973.

Allen has been doing
his show now for 15 years on High Plains Public Radio.
Allen was recently
interviewed by the British Broadcasting Company for his portrayal
of Wyatt Earp in one of the shoot-outs in old Dodge City! Why?
Because even in temperatures above , Allen would not take off his coat. Allen's reasoning
was simple, he didn't think Wyatt Earp would have taken his coat
off, so he didn't either.
Allen OVERSEAS? That's
right!! On Sunday Jan 17, 1999 Allen's picture was in the NewYork
Times as part of a story on Dodge City, and again on Jan 22,
1999 in the International Herald Tribune which is published in
Paris France!
On the evening of February 21, 2000, during
the city council meeting of the City of Dodge City, Kansas, Allen was appointed the Official
Dodge City Marshal by Dodge City Mayor, The Honorable
Gerald H. Schmidt and the city commissioners! As Dodge City Marshal, he has traveled extensively for the City of Dodge.
