Remembering Ray Partin: He was a great listener

Billy Joe Fudge writes:
Ray Partin was a special man who made me feel like I was the most important person in the world every time we had a chance to speak. He was a great listener who, I believe, gave all his attention to what I was saying rather than trying to formulate his response while I was still speaking. When I need a definition of selfless, public servant, I visualize Ray Partin. My condolences to Sharon, Terry, Dr. Gary, and all the family. - Billy Joe Fudge

Eddie McQuaide says he may have judged cranes too quickly

But while they may not be eating all the frogs and toads, the cranes do eat wheat, he says. And notes that other re-introduced species are tough on habitats, citing the Five River Otters, inside the city limits of Columbia, who wiped out a good Redeye Hole on Russell Creek in no time. His report shows the fulfillment of the prophesy of a wildlife expert just outside the city limits, on Bull Run Creek who, just a few months earlier, had warned that the River Otters were massing for an invasion of Columbia, which now seems to be happening. -CM

By Ed McQuaide
Commentary

I appreciate the gentleman getting me straight about this variety of the Sandhill cranes. I was a little quick about passing judgment on these migrating flocks. It seems their only crime here was feasting on the farmers wheat field. Who can afford 200 hungry dinner guests?

Remembering Ray Partin: His legacy is far-reaching

Gerald Reliford writes:Having the opportunity to cover Ray's retirement for the local newspaper allowed me to see his true value. Coworkers cried and friends spoke with great respect of his love for and aid to the farmers of Adair County. His church committment and the family strength he imparted to his children are glowing examples of his affect on those around him. His legacy is far-reaching in Columbia and Adair County. My sympathy and respect go out to his family. -Dr. Gerald Reliford, Pastor, New Life for the Nations.Comments above re article 42729 Remembering We need more Ray Partins

Saddened to hear of the passing of Ray Partin. He did so very much for Adair County, including giving it sons who are continuing his great service. He would often stop at Fairplay for a bologna sandwich and conversation around the coal stove. We need more Ray Partins. -Dave Rosenbaum
