Cowtown Memories Live on at Old Fort Worth Website James Bradshaw has a great Website devoted to old Fort Worth.

Summertime and the (Re)Livin' Is Easy Three faces not often seen in our neck of the woods were in town in 2008 from way up north: Larry and Cathy Hardisty Roberts were down from Alaska, and Jerry Stewart was down from Washington state.
Jerry and his wife, Becky, live in Lynden, Washington, where Jerry owns the production company Vision Productions. He writes and presents commentaries that are broadcast on approximately 350 stations and on the Salem Radio Network satellite. In our market he can be heard on KSKY 660 AM and KKGM 1630 AM in Dallas.
Larry is associate professor of human services and justice at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. He is also involved in Pathways into Health, a nationwide organization dedicated to improving the health, health care, and health care education of American Indians and Alaska Natives.
Cathy works for a brokerage firm and continues to do Girl Scouts volunteer work.
Larry and Cathy live about twenty-five miles northeast of Fairbanks on Haystack Mountain.
"Haystack Mountain is actually a hill," Cathy says. "Our 'spread' is close to the top (1,500 feet), and we have about twenty acres with a limited view of the Alaska Range. Our menagerie includes one llama named Peri, four hens, two roosters, three pheasants, four chukkars, an akita male dog (Big Foot) and a big black cat (Black Foot), two indoor fish, and seasonal worms and bees."
Cathy says, "Larry is the worm- and beekeeper; I am the assistant. Gardening is my spring/summer pastime; however, this summer my harvesting was outsourced to Mrs. Moose and her offspring--local itinerant workers. On two separate work days, they cleaned out most of this year's crop, saving us the labor. Always a challenge, living the rural life!"
Larry and Cathy celebrated their sixth anniversary in December.
The consensus of classmates who visited with Larry and Cathy and Jerry last summer was: "They haven't changed a bit. But we loves 'em anyway."
