He never told me what part of Illinois you were in. I'm guessing South West judging from that nice buck you have pictured with you. The old man had some large bucks cultivating on his properties but 10 years of work is more than likely going down the drain. I am not typically a pessimist but I have never liked the guy he partnered up with. Took advantage of my dads good nature. He wasn't a fool by a long shot but he always tried to see the best in people. But that's another story I guess. If you find yourself needing a hand feel free to give me a shout. The old man told you he would have something done, then it will be done. Have a great day and good luck finding new properties. And also, sorry to hear about your friends passing. Damn hard way to go that cancer. I'm relieved in a way that dad passed so quick and basically painless.
