Sometimes it takes a major event to spur people into action. And there are times when something occurs that we may feel are catastrophic that in essence become the best thing to happen to us. I often tell people that have lost a job, didn’t get hired, or have had a relationship end that it’s at these times when we are devastated or disappointed that there could very well be something better to come along. I’ve had that happen in my life a few times. Now when things I view as negatives occur, I don’t become distraught as I know life has a way of evening out or becoming even better.

As I’ve mentioned in earlier columns, I grew up on Alford Street. For those unfamiliar with the street names in Flippin, that is the street that runs in front of the school. It is named after John Alford, who came to Marion County in 1880. He was my great-great-grandfather (the father of Ida Alford Wood) and he and my great-great-grandmother, Mattie, settled on a farm where the town of Flippin is now located. They moved here from South Carolina after the Civil War, first spending a few years in Missouri before finally settling here.

Remains of these ancient people which have been found in the dry caves and bluff shelters shed light on the prehistoric past even more than the stone artifacts found along our streams on the open sites.
