Carolyn: It looks as if it may be old home week. The fact is, I went to school the Stuarts. Jorene was ahead of me but I spent many hours admireing Betty Lou from a distance. We were in the same class although I graduated in 1952. I think Betty Lou would have graduated in 1953. I was a three year graduate which was pretty easy in those days. I think Mr. Stuart was probably the Superintendent of all Desha County schools at the time I was in Watson. I had a girlfriend in Tillar her name was Lillie Mae Dodd. I don't remember ever seeing her again after I went to Germany back in 1954. I think she worked at a doctor's office in Dumas after graduation from school. I remember Robert Moore. I think he was sheriff for about 144 years as I recall. As best I can remember he had a black Ford car with a single red "STOP" light in the rear window. Everyone knew it was the law. I have written a book, "Watson Is Where It Wuz", which is my answer to "American Graffiti" for the southern rural scene. It should be published the first half of next year if everything goes well. I'm working on "Arkansas City" now but have written myself into a corner of ignorance and need to get down to that part of the world and do some serious research if I am ever to get started for real. It will be set at some time beginning in the early 1830's so I need to do my homework if I am to put any kind of realism in it. Thanks for your response and I look forward to hearing from you again.
