I like Thomas Fiveash. He has become my friend. Don't
you just love people you can trust? Honest men are valuable
because you can
tum your back on them. Thomas is a plow
boy that had the ability to see the world from every direction;
and though he rides a high-bred stallion from the famous horse
Blue Lightning at the Desert Blooms Ranch, yet he has not lost
the appreciation for the
mule that kept his
backband tight all
day in the Louisiana fields. You should be around a
camp fire
and hear him talk about old Tobe and Queen.
Fiveash says, "Don't walk through a door just
because it
is open. Check and see if you belong in there before you
enter."
Thomas could talk to you first hand about the battle of
Murphysboro or the folks at Fredericksburg who struggled to
live, but could not make it, or those who won the struggle. ut
if you get a chance to sit on a pile of feed sacks at the store
with him, he will probably talk about the importance of
walking in the deep woods and not becoming confused about
your directions. He might tell you the way to spell
Huckleberry Pie is H-U-C-K (Huck), B-U-C-K,
Buck-y,
Huckleberry Pie.
He can talk about foreign governments and recite the play
book of generals, but he has not forgotten the name of the man
who gave them credit at the store.
I like Thomas Fiveash.
