MORE ON FLOODING AT ALBERT PIKE

Saturday found approximately 200 searchers combing the 20 miles of wilderness.
The search is expected to take several weeks. Several from Dierks were among those searching.

Teams scouring miles of river and rugged wilderness found two more bodies Saturday. This brings the death toll to 18 from the flash flood that swept through Camp Albert Pike. Many are still unaccounted for.

A pre-dawn wall of water surprised sleeping campers, leaving them frantically trying to get to safety.

Six of the 18 people killed were young children. 15 were identified from the list of 18. Those identified were from Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas.

#1 GRANDDAUGHTER STARTS UAMS NURSING PROGRAM

Sheyanne started the BSN program with UAMS at Hope on May 26. She has been so excited about getting the first two years over so she could get going with her nursing degree. I hope she likes this as much as she thinks she will.

She really has to study to make her grades. Things don’t come easy for her but she has good study habits and can do it if she sets her mind to it.

She has always been a great little athlete but now that that is past she is taking up barrel racing. She seems to be taking to that quite well. Now with two running barrels I guess I will be attending more rodeos.

She is spending the night in Hope tonight and studying for her first BIG test. Several friends are joining her and hope to do well tomorrow.

This picture is the new love of her life, Pistol. He is enjoying the good life since she adopted him. He sleeps with her and is being spoiled royally.
