Nevermind.
Took a while, but I found it on my 1500 Font CD I bought at Office Depot 8
years ago.
It is Guthrie.
Thanks!

Guthrie was SWFTE's clone of the more well-known HOBO. SWFTE's fonts
are no longer marketed and most can't be found any more.
HOBO is available from Bitstream, Linotype, URW, and others.
Other Hobo-clone or remakes include:
Tramp (Arts&Letters/ComputerSupportCorp)
Homeward Bound (Made by Bitstream for Corel)
Boffo (SSI/SSK's rip-off)
Hoboken (anonymous)
Hollander (Softmaker)
Hobby (WSI/IMSI)
Cowlick (WSI/IMSI)

Oh..I did not know that. Maybe that same font is on the disk.
Would you say that the Hobo Font would be more accurate?

For personal use, it shouldn't make much difference. For professional
or commercial use, I'd go with a professional version such as Adobe's
OTF. There ARE some significant differences in the character shapes
themselves, particularly in things like accents and ligatures For
example, Guthrie's fi and fl are just the two characters, better
versions use a true combination design. There are numerous other
quality differences, as well.
Guthrie's variants (bold, oblique, etc.) were done mechanically.
Hobo's were individually designed and adjusted.
