Just wanted to include this anecdote from my father: When my Daddy was only 17 (1953) he was living in Gray County and Sheriff Ruuf was in charge. He was hanging around with three boys from Pampa and they had been getting into all kinds of trouble. They had broken into a store and also a bank, though they didn't steal anything. When the Sheriff caught them he lined them up in front of him. He told one boy, that was really into trouble often, that he was going to prison. He told the other that he was going to call his father and have him pick him up at the jail. He told my Daddy that he was going to go home and get written permission from my grandfather to join the military. He said "you meet me here with that permission paper in the morning". My Daddy did that, and the Sheriff drove him 90 miles to Amarillo that morning to enlist. He even drove him back for the physical exam and the test. My Daddy joined the Air Force and Served for twenty-two years. The kid whose parents came to get him at the jail went on to invent something called "White Oil" or something like that, I don't know the exact word for it but I'm sure they do in Pampa. I don't know what happened to the kid that the Sheriff thought was a real troublemaker:) Anyway, that's a story worth repeating. I guess those were simpler times or something. I'm not even sure I agree with it, but it is part of Pampa history. BTW: My Dad's name is Jack Campbell. You can quote me. Sheila Campbell Atlanta, GA
