Reading Nash Buckingham's Bloodline, questions...

[John Allen]

I was lucky enough to be a member of Beaver Dam for 9 years.I assisted Dr.Dirk Halstead and the actor Robert Urich to purchase all of Nash's papers from his granddaughter.The result of that were the two last books,Nash's Letters to John Bailey and Once Upon a Time.Once Upon a Time was the last book Nash wrote.Dr.Halstead and Urich sold many of Nash's personal letters and they are scattered to the wind now.I had Nash's Dan Kidney duckboat.It is now in the Howard Harlan collection.The biggest part of the lake is still owned by the Owen family.Mike Boyd owns a part of the south end.I think there are 13 landowners who have a share of the lake and bayou.
