History book

[Big Muddy rancher]

I was looking at the "Happy Valley Happenings history book for our municipality and noticed under the Bannister family history( they lived around the hill from us where I cut hay now) the daughter Monica went to Hollywood and became a actress.I did a search and came up with this.

I thought that was pretty cool.
Hard to believe all the people that lived with in sight of each other in this valley. Not many here anymore.
Monty Montana just lived about 5 miles west along the border for awhile as well.

Well what's with that neck of the woods that it produces so many people who end up on the screen? :wink: Oops. I guess they ain't no woods!

Is there any evidence left of former building sites - foundations, etc? Around here it's still fairly populated but there are stretches of road where everything has been bulldozed bare where there once was complete set of farm buildings. Corn grows where a house once stood, not even a tree left.

every thing around here get's bulldozed,something bigger built, and then paved over. not always in that order :wink: they call it " Progress"

Around here they say the best paying crop rotation is corn, beans, asphalt...

Not the most ecologically sustainable rotation.
