TO THE FAMILY OF A WONDERFUL FRIEND CLINTON LYTLE, I'AM SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR LOSS. I HAVE KNOWN CLINTON FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS AND CAN ONLY THINK HOW YOU MUST ALL FEEL. OVER THE YEARS OF KNOWING CLINTON HE SHARED MANY, MANY STORIES. THE ONE I REMEMBER THE MOST IS WHEN I MOVED TO MAPLE HILL ON THE FARM FROM TOPEKA HE TOLD ME A STORY OF HOW TO CATCH WILD TURKEY. HE SAID YOU NEED TO SOAK DRY CORN IN GRAIN ALCOHOL OVER NITE AND THE NEXT MORNING PUT IN THE FIELD WHERE THE TURKEY WHERE SEEN THE DAY BEFORE. HE SAID THE TURKEY WOULD EAT THE CORN AND BECOME DRUNK AND FALL OVER. AT THIS TIME YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO WALK UP AND TAKE YOUR PICK. I WANT ALL OF YOU TO KNOW I DID TRY THIS, JUST TO SEE IF CLINTON WAS TELLING ME THE TRUTH OR NOT. WELL THE TURKEY CAME UP THAT MORNING AND WOULD NOT EAT THE CORN. HOW EVER THE HORSE DID. CLINTON ALWAYS TOOK THE TIME TO SHARE A STORY OR SHOW YOU SOMETHING HE PURCHASED AT A SALE THAT HE ENJOYED SO MUCH. I WILL TRULY MISS MY FRIEND. MY GOD BE WITH THE FAMILY AND THOSE WHO KNEW HIM.
