Jack Brown was one of the very first people we met at Sportsman's Corner Campground in the spring of 2010. As we looked out at the river he told us we were safe from flooding that year - and he was right. Every spring I think about Jack and what he would tell us about the river! We've missed him since he left the campground and we will still think about him and his family now that he has passed. We are deeply sorry for your loss! - Posted by: Andy & Diana Larkin (Sportsman's Corner Campground) on: Oct 16, 2016
