Wonderful story Bert. What a great thing cordmaker did. He is talented and these are going to be great Christmas presents.Cordmaker made two badges for me. They are the two men who were my Chiefs of police while I was an elected official. They are fine men.
Johnny Vance and his wife.
Tom Suoy and his wife.
Below is part of the private message that I sent to Cordmaker describing the two policemen.
Johnny Vance is a native of Barren County, Kentucky. Johnny’s uncle was Van Vance who did the UL radio and TV broadcasts. When he was our Chief he got an FBI top ten wanted man arrested because he knew the area better than anyone.
He was followed as chief by Tom Souy, a native of Cambodia.
Tom is the story that is important. A Smith Grove church sponsored his family after Pol Pot's thugs killed his father with a machete and his mother and brother escaped Cambodia and made it to Thailand. Tom had never seen a TV until he got on a plane going from Thailand to the Philippines.
These two men took care of me when I was Commissioner and Mayor. Police are special. I love them both and they love me.
In my little town all the Chiefs of Police have the same badge number "701". Here are the badges that Cordmaker made.
That is a great Christmas present to two good men.

Yes, usually. Post or point out and I might be able to look-up.I have a question for you MILITARY VETS, do you immediately know where someone has served by looking at their service ribbon?
ATX, I was just looking around trying to find something related to retired MILITARY VETS and ran across service ribbons and how each one was made different. That just got me to thinking if there was a retired ribbon given to those who served and retired. Just great respect for those who have served!!!!Yes, usually. Post or point out and I might be able to look-up.
Use to travel to Savannah and New Orleans quite a bit. On almost every trip I would get fresh shrimp right off the boat. In Savannah I'd go right to the shrimp boats as they were coming in...tell them what I wanted and they'd pack it up right there on the boat. In N.O. there would be trucks off the side of the road on the way out to the airport selling it in the bed of the truck packed (dry ice) and ready to go.I am headed over to Cedar Key this afternoon to pick up about 25 lbs of Gulf Shrimp, fresh off of the boat. They are cleaned and ready for the freezer.
I will give you a tip if you want an excellent family run seafood restaurant with the freshest, best served meals that were swimming in the Gulf the night before. They have an unbelievable all you can eat platter for $13.95. Shrimp, oysters, crabs you name it.

For Army retirees, I'm not aware of any.

Thanks Austin, the only thing I can think of was maybe red, white, blue strips of glass about 1" wide and about 5" long, in colors with which ever branch of service they served in, like for example green for Army at the top or bottom. Still would like to figure out something for VETS!!!!For Army retirees, I'm not aware of any. There is an Army Service Ribbon.
I did the same thing OHIO COLONEL. I picked them up at Legal Seafood at Logan and they packed them in ice for my flight back home. Here are a couple we fixed for supper.Use to travel to Savannah and New Orleans quite a bit. On almost every trip I would get fresh shrimp right off the boat.

Couple times bought fresh lobster in the Logan Airport (Boston) where they would do the same thing. Pack in dry ice and you'd take it on board with you.
Try same colors as National Defense Service Medal. Most service members from all branches qualify.Thanks Austin, the only thing I can think of was maybe red, white, blue strips of glass about 1" wide and about 5" long, in colors with which ever branch of service they served in, like for example green for Army at the top or bottom.

Instead of using heaters in the groves...don't they now spray the trees with water so it freezes and I guess protects them from going below 32 degrees? Or something like that?The year was 1962, before global warming. I remember my grandmother told me we were entering the ice age. She did not have any heat in her house, didn't need it. Needless to say she lost most of the grove. They fired them up but 18 degrees was a little too much. Her brother in law lived in Plant City, FL and he said it was 12 degrees on his farm
Yes, I think the large groves do that now. Also they use large blowers to create strong winds. My grandparents were old school and they used kerosene heaters (smudge pots) or burned wood to create heat and smoke. The rule of thumb was to fire up the groves if the temperature was going to get lower than 28°. This temperature was almost always at night after the sun went down. During the day the sun would be enough to keep the trees safe. I remember as a small boy we gathered wood and placed a wood pile about every 10 feet, up and down each row in the groves. The groves were plowed a couple of times a year and after plowing the wood stacks would be put down.Instead of using heaters in the groves...don't they now spray the trees with water so it freezes and I guess protects them from going below 32 degrees?

I seem to remember reading an article in the AJC when I lived in Atlanta and a severe cold front went far enough South to threaten the citrus groves....and thinking that's crazy.
I will get on this right away. I spoke with the man who runs the cemetery Ron Harn and he is working with me to get a grave marker redone or maybe replaced. I have a total of 5 ancestors in the little cemetery, all pioneers. A g-grandfather John S Taylor, Sr and my g-grandmother, "Uncle Jack", John S Taylor, Jr and his wife and my g-grandfather Luther Lloyd Blanton. The Taylors settled there in the 1830's and raised cotton. Once the railroad arrived they switched to raising citrus and some cattle.Shawnee you may want to add LL Blanton to the Rausseau Pioneer Cemetery in FindAGrave. They do not list him because they probably could not read the name on the stone.
Rousseau Pioneer Cemetery in Florida - Find a Grave Cemetery
Located in Clearwater, Florida approximately 1 mile south of Gulf to Bay Boulevard, (SR 60) on South Hercules Avenue, the Rousseau Cemetery established in 1870 is one of the oldest private family...www.findagrave.com

Here is a smudge pot in place in an orange grove. Growing citrus is HARD work.
That would be quite an undertaking. A mature orange tree is 12 to 15 feet tall with a spread of 10 or more feet. My grandfathers grove was about 100 acres. It would take a lot of plastic and a lot of propping up and would take forever to put up.Couldn't they use huge sheets of plastic to cover areas of the grove?
I didn’t know about Bev’s loss. Praying for her and her family! My Dad was killed in an explosion at an ammunition plant in Iowa. I was only 3 and my brother was 8. I have no memory of him. It was very hard on my brother. Over the years I have come to the conclusion that we can’t leave Heaven out of the equation. Otherwise I have no answer as to why things happen the way they do.I was thinking about Bev this morning, and how it is terrible to lose a younger sibling, but it is extra bad at this time of year. I have never understood why God allows bad things to happen to good people, but it's not for me to know. Maybe, someday, I will understand when I enter heaven. Until then, I just accept it as God's will and pray that the Holy Spirit will give comfort to those who need it. Praying for Bev, and her family at this difficult time.
Ben, when I posted that I was told Stoops was looking at the NFL my "source" said the prime target was a young man I had never heard of, Liam Coen of the LA Rams. He is young and supposedly a brilliant offense mind. The Rams run a balanced attack and Stoops prefers that. I read where the LA Rams have the 4th best offense in the NFL.I guess my question is, how much do NFL OC's make? Why would they leave the NFL to come to UK, unless they are on the hot seat? And, if they are on the hot seat, do we want to hire an under performer just so we can say he came from the NFL? Maybe a QB coach might be more reasonable.

These cold snaps come in out of the blue and you don't have much time to prepare. Neighbors and friends had to pitch in to protect them. The most efficient way back in his time was to fire them up and make a lot of smoke (sumdge) as this offered the best protection.

Stoops is certainly taking what many feel may be a risk but I like the gamble. We have to establish a good passing game to be competitive in the SEC and this young man may be what the doctor ordered. If it turns out to be so it will be interesting to say the least.
