LittleRedFisherman Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I throw together some videos from time to time, mostly farming and fishing, but this one is family. Since my grandparents passed away back in 07, I have all there old pictures and i'm putting them to digital to save them. I came up with this one night, the first pic is my Great grandfather that a never met, then it works up the tree from there. Since my family has a farm history, I thought this clip from Paul Harvey (who always supported what we do) would work for this.. Thought I'd share it here for some reason, guess it lets you know what my roots are.. The last picture is my favorite I think, I remember those days like yesterday, my Grandfather at the head of the table, probably a Sunday dinner. I ate many a meal there, as they lived just next door to us when I was growing up. My grandmother was wise, and my grandfather was one of the kindest souls I ever knew, I miss them dearly. Old pictures are more priceless as we get older, I'm saving many of these and going to put the file in a lockbox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGO4Ypano6g&list=UUEY8yxNQ5jhYWSk_R15fcuw There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
WoundedOne Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Very cool. Enjoyed the family history pictures. Wish I had some old time photos of my grandfather and the legacy he created. It was a very different time back then that I wish some of kids could relate to. Thanks for sharing..
Mitch f Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 That was really good! You know my roots are from Paragould like I think I mentioned to you before. You may know my cousin Jerry Gilliam, who sells a ton of hay all around your area. "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
LittleRedFisherman Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 Yes sir, don't know him, but have heard the name.. I think during the drought here a couple years ago, hay was hard to come by, and I heard his name mentioned a time or two from folks on Crowleys Ridge where the cattle are around here. It's a small world, on the trout trip this winter, I think it was Quillback that has family in Kennett! There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
Daryk Campbell Sr Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I have family that I haven't seen in many years in Senath. My grandparents are from there, and buried there.

LittleRedFisherman Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 Ha ha, yep i'm a flatlander that loves the Ozarks!! I'm so thankful i'm a 45 minute drive from good Ozark Smallie fishing tho!! There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
LittleRedFisherman Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 I have family that I haven't seen in many years in Senath. My grandparents are from there, and buried there. The world keeps getting Smaller, some of those photos I just showed were taken at Senath. That's were my grandparents were from originally, they moved here on this Arkansas farm in the 40's.. I know the picture of my grandfather with the hogs was taken at Senath... There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
Terrierman Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I knew there was a reason I liked you as soon as I met you. That last picture really is the memory maker. Thanks for putting this kind of thing on the board.
