It is time for Best Of 3 Counties, dear readers, and we at the Tri County Tribune and CherryRoad Media are excited.
My brother-in-law, Rick, was a bull hauler when I first met him. This was back in the day when bull haulers would pass you on the highway—and shortly afterward, an ambulance would follow.
I am going to take a paragraph and introduce myself to the readers of the Tri-County Tribune. I am from the western part of Reno County, live on a small farm with my wife, 3 house cats, a pet pigeon, 2 outside dogs, a hobby herd of chickens, a horse and mule also. I was born in 1959, the same year Jimmy Dean recorded “Big Bad John”. I have always lived in the country and hope that never changes. My wife and I married in 1981 and we live on Parallel Road, hence the line for my writings. We do share many of the same views and opinions. We have 3 grown sons and 5 grandchildren. I consider Pratt County a second home as all of my working life has been here except for a year and half. My career is as a farm equipment mechanic, now we are referred to as service technicians since the complexity of ag machinery is at such a complicated state and growing more so each year. I also have a permanent address in the state of confusion.
