Today is April 9th 2021 and I just found out today that my life long friend passed away. You see I grew up with George and Randy Tarver in Conway and the three of us became friends at the rage of 4. I move with my family to California in 1963.
However I always considered my home to be Arkansas. Curt, George and Bill lived across the street from my family home 2116 Caldwell next door To Addie Cane their Grandmother. I visited George ever time with my wife ever time I visited and we had lunch or dinner often. My last visit was in October 2014. My deepest condolences to Bill, Justin and the entire Family. If any of you read this give me a call to share memories C 626-893-4734. God Bless You All!

Taze was a good friend. We loved to work cattle on a working cattle farm with our friend Jerry Rogers of Elkins, Arkansas. His nick name was the Tasmania Devil at the University of Arkansas in the Animal Science Department of the College of Agriculture but we called him Taze for short. We both had a burning desire to learn ever thing we could about Ranching. I wish I could been able to visit with him the last several years but i wasn't. I will always have fond memory's of my friend Taze.
