This is Roland Knott from Noble. We've recently published a book about "Smokey." See www.createspace.com/3421314. I know you will enjoy it. There is far more to this man than "the crazy old man."

Thanks, Dan. I try to promote, wherever possible, the use of public records, whether parish Clerk of Court filings or state database, and corporate reports. The site has always contained a large measure of rumor and wishful thinking which is understandable but oft times inaccurate and confusing. Good Luck. Skip

I just joined this group today - (Oct. 12).  I have land on the Russell Loop also - the Russells were my Mother's side of the family.

Our well is small compared to other wells in the Haynesville Shale.  If you want I'll send the particulars, but I don't want to depress you.  In section 10, which is above us to the right, they have a very large well, so I"m hoping that this was just a bad drilling job and they do a re-work on it in the future.  And as of September 21, there are 1586 producing wells in the Haynesville Shale, and our well produces more water than almost all of them, so maybe we can sell the water and get rich that way)))).  Anyway, I hope I'm wrong about the numbers and this well turns out to be a big one - Mike LaCour
