Re: THE LOST FLOWERS

its a very good book, everyone that likes to read abt the way thing were back then needs to read it, makes me think back to when i was a child, growing up in south ga it was alot the same way here and most everywhere else around the south , times were hard i do know that ! i have owned quite a few with flowers breeding in them just was looking back thru some old pedigrees with flowers breeding in them had 1 gyp that had it real close and she was a real nice hound, seen a ad several years ago in the chase where theres a guy in north carolina that still breeds on that blood line

Re: THE LOST FLOWERS

have not saw the book but was in the game when mr percy was at the top of the page a lot with his hounds as well as a lot of other endevors.
early 50s was a hound mate to old cry baby cry not far from me that puppies out of him and the dawson stride and ray raider gyps we had here and the big ole red foxes we had in those days would sho make you wish you had stayed home.the thing that caught my attention most about mr flowers back when i was employed at gm corp in st louis and it must have been 30 or 35 years ago was on break one night looking at the news paper and there in the st louis post dispatch was the death notice for j percy flowers clayton nc.
i thought to myself right then this is an important guy,never forgot it.
back then percy flowers,tom wells,alex parrish,lee johnson,collins gentry,ross alexander and a few more was to me just like rock stars are to kids now.in fact they still are.very few things i would trade the memories of those days for.
