Good Afternoon!!! For those of you who were not at the Reunion, I would like to mention that Dorothy Snead of Roswell, NM was there. Dorothy and I have been friends for some fourteen years or so. She is a lovely person and this was the first time that I had had the pleasure of meeting her. She is the great grandaughter of John Rice Maupin. Strangely enough she knew almost nothing of John Rice and his past when I first contacted her. She has since that time become very interested in her Great grandfather. Family members were not all told of his early life and apparently his later and last years were that of a quiet business man operating a ferry on the Red River. When the information about is early life is posted and put out in printed form I am sure you will all understand the events that led up to his somewhat "wild" character. I will try within the next few weeks start posting information on this man and his family. He has been one of the Maupins in which a great number has expressed a desire to more informed. William
