1. John Nance Garner of Uvalde, not Bonham, was VP in FDR’s first and second terms. 2. Garner State Park is on the Frio River between Concan and Leakey (pronounced Coon-can and Lakey). 3. Sam Rayburn was from Bonham. He was Speaker of the House when Lyndon Johnson was Majority Leader of the Senate and DDE was President. They were both powerful allies of FDR in the House when Sam Russell was there and Garner was VP. They brought us things like Social Security, REA, pretty rock buildings in state parks, and employment for men whose families were hungry. 4. The lake north of Stephenville was in a state park, but I thought it was called Stephenville State Park. I learned to swim there about 1947.

There are only two lakes I know of,,,,,,,one was i believe on private property owned by cawlyer(not sure if I spelled that correctly) ,,,,he was a pharmacist in stephenville,,,,,,,the other one is called club lake and its privately owned,,,,,they are both off of n 281 there is another lake,,,,,,,or in my opinion a huge tank,,,,on n 67 on private property owned by a lawyer here in town.
