The name Loch Lomand is a blast from the past. My grandfather's place was about a half mile northwest of where you talked about. His property was on the south side of Bayou l'Outre. (The Ludder) My uncle, Tony Dean, died a week ago and is buried at Rocky Branch. Some members of the family are buried there; others, like my mother, are at Crossroads.
