Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

My pappaw was sheriff back in the 50's. He was a ww2 vet so that got him a lot of votes but his secret weapon was he'd buy a few cases of pints of Beam and hand them out the day before election. He hit up a few families in several areas and that was enough to make sure he won easy.
