Original 43 Recognition

In July you read about how the original 43 partners struggled to keep the ranch together. You will get an opportunity to join us in honoring them during the Labor Day BBQ (2011). Partners Jim Bradney, Ross Flaven, and Gail Thompson have joined their talents, brain power, and desire to preserve ranch history to create a beautiful wooden plaque honoring those original 43.

Much of what partners appreciate about the Flying X is the opportunity to preserve what they hold dear for future generations. Similar to the historical articles in Flying Xtra and researching the historic structures on the ranch, this plaque meets the long-term goal of the Flying X to preserve both the distant and recent history of the ranch.

The plaque will hang in the upper dining room. There is also another commemorative item in a prominent place somewhere in the common area of the ranch. Can you find it? We are pretty sure you will know it when you see it.

Thanks to Jim, Ross, and Gail for their continuing efforts to preserve the Flying X Ranch.
