Neva: I for one forgive you for what you said about ole Jim. He not only helps people on this board, but I see him on the Lamar, Fannin and other boards as well offering his help. And I bet old Jim will forgive you as well. I'm sure he has a tuff old hide & a soft heart!!. If I wanted to know something about Red River Co, I would go to Jim!!!
