I never knew of Tom Hook until a last summer when he purchased three Angus pairs from me. He came clear down to Peyton to look them over and see the calves. That day we spent a a few precious hours visiting over cold sweet tea with my family, Tom, Mrs. Connie Hook, and her mother. That day he introduced us to the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) curriculum. Although his purchase of my cows gave me a secure footing in the beef industry, I will remember him far longer for him introducing me to schooling that has grown my faith exponentially. He was indeed a remarkable man, and I and my family will miss him, but the Lord is certainly celebrating over a saint returning home. I last talked to him the first of February, discussing the condition of the cattle and my 4-H and school work. Glad I got to speak to him before he was called home.
