very true. i was doing a fenceline for him right before i started this pond and he had just got back from getting cattle off wheat in southern oklahoma. he said i dont feel good i'm tired and i'm goin to my home in stillwater for the weekend. i talked to him again 4 days later and he said i'll never see the ranch again they are tellin me i have only days left and that i'll die in payne county. he had lung cancer everywhere. even more ironic than that about 2 months before he went in for the super checkup as he called it and was very happy that they give him a clean bill of health.
his son gentner will take over now and is very capable of doing so. he wont be as hands on as les due to his law firm duties but things will find a way to continue on. i will post pics of his ponds as i come to them now and then
