Mysty, Are these Hudspeths kin to the family there in Yellville still? G.D. Hudspeth was a turkey farmer married to Sadie Ott, my great-aunt. Both are dead now, they've several kids in the area including Skippy Sharp. Darren Mysty McPherson <[email protected]> wrote: Here's what Vicki and I have for Big Blue II for the Hudspeth family.
