My grandfather, 85, passed in his sleep last night.

Great man. Broke the mold when they made him. 24 year USAF veteran. 20 year civil servant in the Department of Agriculture.

Listened to the '65 Cotton Bowl on the radio of his follow-me truck on the flight line at Peterson AFB.

We lost a good one today.

If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Truly sorry to hear the news. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May it be of some comfort, how ever little, that he has moved on to a far, far better place and that he awaits in a place where there is no more pain, worries and where the Hogs win every game played.

Sterling H. Hall, 85, of Searcy, formerly of Batesville, passed peacefully in his sleep Wednesday, October 4, 2017, in Searcy.
