Dear Mr. Wyly: Thanks for the information. The Double Mountain area I am referring to is near Patillo, right along the Erath/Hood/Palo Pinto line. I know there was a Double Mountain school in that area as I have seen the school records. I've driven by and the "Mountains" look like two little hills to me, but coming from California my point of reference is the Sierras. I am enjoying your great stories and information. What a great resource you are! Diane Stavenhagen Kadletz charles a Wyly wrote: > > Correction and Addition- > > I said Conroe this A.M. I meant Jasper.
