Backyard Oil: Links to Backyard Oil Stories

Jimmy Reliford was a business success beyond all Adair County measure. He was also a master of wit-matching games from high stakes checkers to cards. He was a man whose enjoyment of life, charisma, and humor endeared to Adair Countians in a way few others have. He broke the 'envy glass ceiling' which, before his time meant even modest wealth was criticized. And maybe, because of him, life for the most successful in our midst, is much better today than it was before he hit it big. Maybe now, dreams of all Adair County kids are boundless.

With it all, there was a theatrical side in what he did. Most of us never saw him happier than when the show, "Backyard Oil," won him additional international fame, and focused the attention of the world on Columbia. Pen has search our archives and found several links to stories on CM. Here is the list we have this afternoon, Sunday, August 11, 2013: We hope these links make it easier to remember this wonderful man in a role he loved so much. The stories include many of the insightful reviews of Jackson Brower, the Pennsyltuckian, who critiqued all, or almost all of the episodes for CM.
