Thanks for the kind words Dave.  The times have definitely changed, for the good or bad I don't know, but I do miss some parts of the old times and I guess the people that are no longer here more than anything...

Closest year like this I can remember here would be 1979 or 80.  Rain wouldn't quit and I remember helping plant some fields 3 times and the river came out in August and finished it off.  I was a freshman in HS then so didn't have a sense for the stress it caused everyone.  Don't have that luxury now, LOL
