I went to jr high and freshman year with JEan Richerson. Are you related? Yes! I guess the old buildings were pretty much gone , it has been about 20 years sinc eI was last up there. I am glad Nocona Hills survived, I had been told the fire damaged homes. My Grand Parents, Earl Tarrs lived in the area of Nocona Hills back in the late 1930's . He was a sharecropper on the thirds and quarters. That was before Valley View School became part of Prairie Valley. The last time I lived there was 1975 and I played volleyball for the Nocona Fire Dept Women's Team. My ex-husband was coaching at Prairie Valeey then. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
