We did not invent this name. But you obviously would not understand my culture and why this name is revered in it. (not a slam... just a fact...)I obviously don't understand that, but I'd be truly interested in an explanation, not that you're required to give one.
My name is Richard. I refuse to use a nickname...
Don't blame you there.
Hunting... Pure country folks... Simple lifestyle... hunting... coondogs... fishing... Ozarks (even though I currently live in CO)... hunting... farming... sitting on the front porch visiting... bucking hay, then going down to the river for a swim... hunting...
Read "where the Red Fern Grows" and Summer of the Monkeys" by Wilson Rawls. Although I am only 31 I grew up not a lot different than these books portray. That culture is my culture. I am proud of it.
