• 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).

Good for you. I wanted to do that but saw the writing on the wall in the Dairy industry way back in the early 80’s.
We sold all the cows, planted a bunch of timber, and are waiting now for the payoff. I miss my cows. Still nothing better than having tour next door neighbor a quarter mile away.

Hurst, Dallas, Garland, Lubbock, Cedar Park, back to Rowlett, Garland, Charlotte, Orlando, Cullowhee(NC), Manteo, Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, back to Charlotte, Salisbury(still NC), back to Dallas, Rowlett, Oakwood (Dayton, OH and my husband's hometown. Our kids are the 4th generation to graduate from Oakwood High School.)

I spent every summer in Dumas with my grandparents...by choice. I adored them and traveled with my grandfather on his medical supply deliveries from the time I was potty trained (a couple of times before when my grandmother could go to take care of me) until 7 weeks before he passed away. I wouldn't trade that time with him for anything.

We made a full circle to end up where we each started.

The plan is to eventually split time between Western Carolina and Aspen.
