Fred, the guy who did the origianal survey work on our subdivision in the 60's was a known quart or better a day man.. I am just real glad that the boundries..
were in the right place, as I know of other subdivisions he did, that years later had problems... he had one whole subdivisions markers all off by 5 feet..and that took years of land court to straighten out...
