Hi, in 1960's, wasthe Flat Top Ranch owner Charles Petty or Charles Pettit< Some of this ranch was in Chalk Mountain- 3 Way District now, and some in Bosque County . Children living on the ranch attended Walnut Springs and Meridian , Texas. Was this a name change from Petty to Pettit? He shipped registerred bulls as far as California and Colorado in his own 14 wheel trailer trucks. The Antelope pasture caught fire around Flat Top Mountain- grass and green cedar. I went out on a Walnut Springs Fire truck. Kopperel, Meridian, Glen Rose, Cleburne and Stephenville had sent fire trucks out. Stephenville trucks had to contact home station on a skip to Comanche Fire Radio and they relayed messages back to Stephenville. Mr. Pettit or Petty had a son in law- a Major Long, who owned the Rough Creek Ranch near Glen Rose. Todfay the Ranch is an Executive Resort or retreat with all amenities found on any Texas Hill Country resort ranch. Take care, Charles A.
