I'll tell you about Red River and what she meant to my parents before me. Dad's dream was to own a farm in Red River bottom. "I want to own me a Red River farm with a fishin' hole. That way when I can't make a living farmin', fishin' can come to my rescue." That was Mother's dream too. I grew up wanting to make a living from Red River, just like Dad. I'll tell you how I have made a living since 1986. Red River provided me with sticks and stories and became my classroom. I'll tell you how I became the Red River Scholar.
