We evacuated all the way to Fort Smith, Ark..

I feel bad because our trees fell and smashed our neighbor's fence and gazebo.

It looks like we are going to need a new roof and we had water leak into about four rooms. And I guess things shifted around, because I saw about an inch gap around a window.

Those folks are our partners. You can get to Fort Smith in about 50 minutes.

Fort Smith, being the place of my longest stay, was the scene of my largest medical practice.

Fort Smith was a major staging point where wagons, teams of mules and provisions were sold to folks headed west in search of gold. From Fort Smith, they could go north and follow the Overland Trail or south by the Butterfield Trail. Hundreds of area residents set out for the gold fields, and more than a half century later, it was even thought for a while there was gold in Rogers.
