Mountain top property overlooking White River.
This picture was made by my friend, Billy Cox, during a visit to our mountain top property near Mt. Olive access between Melbourne and Sylamore. It overlooks the White River.

Dr. McClain,
Tell us all a few good stories. I know you have them, don't be stingy. I am interested in hearing you tales.
See you around,

Jason. For you. About 20 years ago the McClains attended the wedding of Melanie Lowery in Searcy, Arkansas. The reception was held at the Lowery's beautiful home on Country Club Drive. We knew very few people at the reception and therefore gravitated to a quiet out of the way room and visited among ourselves. I noticed a crystal bowl filled with "mints" and decided to help myself. In typical fashion, I grabbed a handful and threw them down like peanuts. (In polite company I would have nibbled on one mint for about 5 minutes.) The taste was rather strong and pungent, but I decided it was some exotic flavor enjoyed only by the rich and/or initiated. The longer I chewed, the larger the bolus became, so much so that I could barely contain it all. I fianlly decided that anything tasting that bad/badly? couldn't be good for me and discreetly disposed of it. I later learned: 1.The "mints" were room deodorizers 2. Almost the entire McClain Clan, unbeknowns to each other, had sampled the "mints". Must be in the genes. Look before you leap and check for rocks before you logroll down the hill come to mind.
