    3. Warren, Boy, you really caught me with this one. I had not read the "From:" line and, when I saw the "...boy scout cycling merit badge in 1941," I wondered who the kid was that I had probably known. Then I saw that he was you and that I almost certainly was riding with you when you/we "visited each of them." Do you remember seeing the kids swinging out on a rope over the swimming hole in that creek? It's nice when someone's request for information brings back memories that are almose sixty years old. More than a year ago I asked if people on this list would be interested in sending in information about what used to be in Waxahachie and in Ellis County. A couple of weeks ago, Happy Drumond was very nicely remembered on this list. Now, perhaps some reader can tell us about Loyce "Pop" Sessions who was a scout master in Waxahachie during the early '30s. Pop even had a younger group of boys that he called "Rangers." Perhaps one or more of his boys can tell us more. One more request, does anyone have any pictures, or know someone who has, of that fantastic "roller" stage curtain of the Chatauqua Auditorium in Waxahachie? I just can't think of many things I would rather have for Christmas than a copy of a picture of the curtain. Thanks for the memories! Tom wmote1@juno.com wrote: > E. C.
