    I have many fond memories of Dexter on the farm when I was growing up. I remember the first time I ever tasted milk straight from the cow! My thoughts are with Lamesa, Larry and family and Randy and family. He is in Heaven with Joann and Geneva and released from his broken earthly body.

    Felt like I knew Dexter just a little after all the stories I listen to as Larry Clenney and I ran along the Arkansas River over these past three years.
