Reed and Anita retired years ago and moved to Ozark, MO to be nearer their grandchildren. Reed's daughter took over the pharmacy (she is a pharmacist as well), which had by that time moved to a new building nearer the hospital on Hwy 56. She has sold the business to another local pharmacist, and works part-time as a pharmacist in Mtn. Home. Reed and Anita are going strong still, and we try to see them each summer when we go back home to Calico Rock. (I live in WI now.) My dad was the local dentist for decades, and my family (Hudson) still lives in the area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27240206.post-87745663189904452592007-12-31T11:08:00.000-06:002007-12-31T11:08:00.000-06:00Thanks, Steve!

He came to Salem a couple of times to interview my grandfather, who was also a Perryman and had been in the Arkansas Legislature back in the 1930s. I stopped by that pharmacy a couple of times and also took the time to sightsee.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if the Perryman Pharmacy is still there. The man must have passed away, but I recall that one of his kids was running the place about 20 years ago.<BR/><BR/>Jeffery Hodges<BR/><BR/>* * *Horace Jeffery Hodgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684513618463766017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27240206.post-1156164179058397252006-08-21T07:42:00.000-05:002006-08-21T07:42:00.000-05:00One has to wonder--with all the sight-seers that r...One has to wonder--with all the sight-seers that reavel through this area of the Ozarks each year--how many drive right on by the road leading to this bluff (only a two-mile detour on a GOOD gravel road (Culp Road)) without even knowing this awesome feature is there.Al-Ozarkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03034820391347139672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27240206.post-1156139374406366822006-08-21T00:49:00.000-05:002006-08-21T00:49:00.000-05:00Been there.
