\"DSC04527\"<\/a>August 19th, Fred Bell, Dad, the patriarch of our family celebrated his 90th birthday with family and friends at a reception held a few days earlier at his church, First Baptist Church, Harrison, AR. It was a lovely event with much fellowship and relationship experienced and expressed.<\/p>\n

Interspersed with all the hugs and best wishes were a couple presentations. One of those was a citation presented by a Commissioner of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission honoring Dad for the significant and lifetime role he played in restoring Arkansas wildlife from their post-depression danger levels to the numbers we enjoy today. Many success stories were mentioned including black bear and elk, which Dad had a major role in reintroducing and protecting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>There was also a citation presented by State Senator Randy Laverty, retired, authored by the Arkansas House of Representatives honoring Dad for service to the State of Arkansas. Randy who was in Dad’s Boy Scout troop growing up said, \u201c Fred Bell was probably the most respected man in Newton County.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9497\"<\/a>Your family certainly thinks so Dad! Your three children were there, your six grand kids from all around the country. And five great grandchildren, some very recent! \ud83d\ude42 We\u2019re proud of you, the life you\u2019ve lived in front of us and your peers, and we\u2019re glad to call you\u00a0Dad! We love you!!<\/p>\n

\u201cHow blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, n<\/span>or stand in the path of sinners, n<\/span>or sit in the seat of scoffers!\u00a0<\/span>But his delight is in the law of the <\/span>Lord<\/span>, a<\/span>nd in His law he meditates day and night.\u00a0<\/span>He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, w<\/span>hich yields its fruit in its season a<\/span>nd its leaf does not wither; a<\/span>nd in whatever he does, he prospers.<\/span>\u201d (Psalm 1:1\u20133<\/span>)<\/p>\n

\u201c\u201cBlessed is the man who trusts in the <\/span>Lord a<\/span>nd whose trust is the <\/span>Lord<\/span>.<\/span>\u201d (Jeremiah 17:7<\/span>)<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; i<\/span>ndeed, my heritage is beautiful to me.<\/span>\u201d (Psalm 16:6<\/span>)<\/p>\n
