Yes, I was with Callon for 30 years and now an independent doing leasing, title and brokering in Mississippi, Louisiana, Michigan and Virginia.
I keep up with Jim Bartell and Kerry Extine. Do you have any idea how George Head is doing ?? I would like to get a phone number for him so I can give him a call. Take care and good luck in the Haynesville :-))) Meade

Hey Cottontop,

Just wanted to say "hi".

Hi Cathy,

Haven't seen you on GHS in a while and just wanted to drop in and say hi.

I've, thought about you often. It's only been 29 years, but every time I work on a tract in Panola County that involves a Trexco Partnership, I think about all the crew we worked with at Transcontinental. I spoke with Fran Bailey about 15 years ago when she was with Sklar working for Gus Erickson. I sure would like to take you to lunch sometime. Great to hear from you. My cell # is 409-789-7921. Where is Ryan these days. Heard that Phil Isreal died several years ago.

Cathy,

On the 4th of July, the apparently healthy son of a friend of mine went to see his mother here in Shreveport. They were sitting on a sofa, visiting like we all do, when Richard grabbed his chest and collapsed - he died of a massive heart attack in his mother's arms. None of us have any idea how fragile life really is, do we?

I have one daughter who is also my best friend. I don't know that I could survive if something happened to her. Maybe I could, maybe I have more faith and courage than I'm aware of but I know my heart would be totally broken.

Grief is definitely the price we pay for love.

Please know that you're in my prayers.

Ann

I wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about your son. I used to know a very elderly lady in Ruston who once told me the hardest thing on earth is to outlive a child and I'm sure that's true.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Ann

good morning CottonTop. The shop is Shreveport Trading Company Antiques. It is located at 205 E. King's Highway in Shreveport. It is housed in the building that once was Sooto Records Shop. It is not my shop but a very good friend of mine. There are 18 dealers in the store so you are sure to find something that you will like!

Thanks

Hey Cottontop,

Glad you are alright from the accident. I've had a few of those that just made me thankful to be alive.

Cathy. Hey, I resemble that remark! Ha! Can't Tuesday. And I'm waiting on a call from an a/c installer for an appointment. Should be Tuesday AM or sometime Wednesday. Check back with me the first of the week. Have a good weekend.

Thank for the kind words, Cathy. It is gratifying to know that many members appreciate my participation on the site. And tends to make up for those who do not! LOL! I'll be in town for the next three weeks so you pick the lunch date. Regards, Skip

You did miss a good time. Everybody was great, it just ended too quick.
Don't worry about any money. I wouldn't take it if you sent it anyway.
You just show up at the next one and buy me a beer.

You know we are all here if you need something. Tell her we are praying for her and her family. Sounds like the poor woman has her hands full.

How are you doing? are you ok, and how is your friend doing.

Cottontop,

I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

I look forward to meeting you in the future.

Oh, and I put that date down on the calender. Happy belated birthday.

I would lie but it's already posted on my page. I'm 45 but I'm still in decent shape.

Well, thank you Cottontopper. I do appreciate that.
Let me know when it's your birthday.
