Maybe even bring one of the greatest Adair County lawmen of all time, Sheriff Billy Ballou, out of retirement.

His son, Billy Joe Fudge, remembers his wisdom often today. By Billy Joe Fudge My Dad, Ordell Fudge, was born at Toria in the heart of the Great Wooded South in `25. I say it that way because his reply to questions about his age would often be born in `25, you figure it up. A lot of our parents and grandparents might not have had much formal education but education doesnt always equal wisdom. Wisdom is often born in difficulty and honed to a sharp edge by time.
