History by Don Rutledge

Having been off this board for several years, someone recently sent me a link to Don's history posted here. I really appreciated this, and sent him an email telling him I appreciated a balanced and non-bashing view of the whole thing. I also asked if there was more to come. He basically said that he's been led of the Lord not too add any more fuel to the whole thing, and that it took up too much time from other things.

I think the years he wrote about were probably easier that writing about the mid 70s and beyond . . . before things started to slide into various issues.

Loved to hear the Columbus stories. Send me a PM?

Don Rutledge began to write a history then he was visited by a few old friends from LSM, and he then had a medical emergency in his family.

What DR did write and post on the forum was extremely informative.

I'll send you a PM - thanks!

Funny that some of us are just now becoming aware of Don's "History," but not many I meet with are all that tuned into LC related things these days. There was one person here that has known about it awhile, but he I guess he didn't feel a need to mention it to me. (which is funny, because as everyone knows - it's all about me! )

Don has been out to Arizona a few times over the last few years, so if he comes again I might ask him about "the good ol' days." Don is a wonderful story-teller! Then again, he may be all through with discussing such matters . . . (bigger fish to fry)
