    Episode 60: Loving the Ozarks to Life (The Kimmons Family: Part One)
    2025/03/13
    In the early 70s, Tom and Brandy left Columbia, Missouri, where Tom was teaching at Mizzou, for the deep woods on the banks of the Little Red River, not far from Shirley, Arkansas. With nothing but a chainsaw, a hammer, and an auger, Tom built a cabin that still stands today. For ten years, Tom and Brandy lived in the cabin, and their first daughter, Ginny, was born there. Before their second daughter, Kasey, was born, they moved into Shirley, where the Tom worked diligently to improve his hometown. The fruits of his labor in Shirley are everywhere, extending to the water they drink. The Kimmons are an example of the love and respect our Ozarks hills deserve and the best way to "love them to life."
