[QUOTE="Idaman, post: 752634, member: 14119"] Franklin Nash had many sides to his personality and quite wide interests. For one thing he was a very big fan of classical music. He was very involved with the local fine arts committee and had season tickets to their programs in his home town. I ddon't think he missed a concert if at all possible. One fall he insisted that my wife and I accompany him and his wife to the winter concerts. I guess he thought that i could use some culture to smooth out my red neck tendencies. I was a country music fan and followed Merle Haggard, Charlie Pride, and Tammy Winette. We went but by spring and several concerts he decided we weren't as enthralled as he had hoped so he kindly dropped the idea. Maybe the year before he had a membership quota to make as I noticed that the concerts were not heavily attended. Another side to him was his love of agate and the making of belt buckles and bolo ties out of some of the most beautiful agate in the world. With his agate interest he made the buckles and bolos and took a course at a local community college to learn the art of silversmithing. He was really very good and I still have several belt buckles and bolos that he made. They are really treasured. He also had the most extensive collection of agate and arrow heads I have ever seen even though my experience is somewhat limited in that area. Another facet was his love of still life paintings. He became acqunaited with a local artist that was really talented. Our house is filled with this mans paintings and we sure get lots of comments on their beauty. This is one area Franklin really got me interested and involved. In this vein he got acquainted with a convict from the state prison, that was in our home town. Franklin wanted him to paint some pictures of his cattle from photographs. The guy was totally amazing and he was incarcerated for you guessed it, forgery. We were so impressed that I even contracted him to do a picture of Carls old herd bull and gave it to Carl. This guy could write with both hands sentences that you had to hold up to a mirror to read. He could also write a sentence backwards with his right hand and the same sentence forward with his left hand. I have always been grateful for the diversity Franklin brought to my life. [/QUOTE]
