The Rolling "M" Ranch North is the home of John and Shari Morgan and their Ranch dog, Bear. The Ranch is located in Pleasant Plains, IL (a small town about 16 miles west of the state capitol, Springfield).



About the Ranch Name...

The name of the Ranch was inherited from the original Rolling "M" Ranch in Carbondale, IL where John, his brother (Justin), and their roommates (David "Doc" Mills & later, J.T. "Porkchop" Lewis) lived for four years. After the guys graduated, they went their separate ways. Justin, his wife (Gena), and their sons (Cobus & Eli) live near Evansville, IN. Porkshop and his wife, Applesauce (Becky), and their son (Wyatt), live in Herron, IL. Doc was last seen running "amuck" with his wife (Courtney) and their son (Jackson) in Fairfield, IL. And, John, Shari, and their son (Ben) moved to the Rolling "M" Ranch North! That's right the legend of the Rolling "M" lives on....

Every ranch needs a suitable brand! The Rolling "M" brand (see the upper left corner) features a circular saw blade with three intertwined "M's". There is one "M" for each of the three original Ranch Proprietors, Justin Morgan, John Morgan, and "Doc" Mills. The "M's" are arranged to form a mountain range centered on the saw blade.

The proprietors of the Rolling "M" Ranch are John D. Morgan and Shari E. Morgan. John and Shari met while in high school and have been together ever since.

Shari graduated from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. with a degree in Nursing and now works as an RN for Memorial Medical Center in Springfield, IL.

John graduated from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale with a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics. While at SIU, he worked for the Information Technology LAN Team and on the Information Resources staff of the SIU School of Medicine. John spent a year as a Network Analyst for Sentinel Technologies. Now, he's back at the SIU School of Medicine. This time, he's at the Springfield Campus working as a LAN administrator for the Medical Library, the Medical Humanities Department, and the Clinical Ethics Center, as well as, "other duties as assigned". In addition, John is an avid musician, model railroader, and woodworker. Check out the links on the menu to see more...
