I’ve been encouraged lately to consider the importance of our inherent right to life, liberty and property. No doubt, we all take these simple entitlements for granted all too often. All political concerns of right to property aside, to me, the saddest infringement on our right to property is when citizen robs citizen.

The symbol of the American farm scene has been the red barn. The first farm I owned had one on it. And you can still see the old gable roof structure today on the right of I-540 before you drive uphill to the Bobbie Hopper Tunnel. There was something about buying an old, run down red barn. I had grown up on an Ozark farm and owning a red barn gave my partners Monty and Sumner Smith and I some pride. I can’t explain it now, but in the midst of all those persimmon sprouts, rundown fences and eroded patches of once-fields, there was always that barn.
