When I was born my parents, Howard and Rose Childers and their financial partner, Cliff Griffen of Globe, Arizona owned the ranch and we lived at the original headquarters of the LF known as the NB Ranch, a mile or so upstream from the LF. The momenteous event of my arrival occured in 1938.<BR/><BR/>The ranch then changed hands a few times until Dad bought it back in 1952 and owned it until 1964.<BR/><BR/>My mother held a mortgage on the ranch until it was retired when the Pratt family purchased it.<BR/><BR/>The cabin at Bull Springs is much older than forty years since I'm almost 68 and it was there for quite a while before I saw it. I think it was first constructed by the Randalls, probably in the 1920s. I helped Dad add the shed to the back of the cabin when I was a teenager.<BR/><BR/>I know a lot of stories about that ranch and the general area; - some pleasant and some not so happy, but memories none-the-less.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reminder.<BR/><BR/>Ed Childers<BR/>edwardchilders@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
