He's a Gray, born near Rugby in 1939; his mama was an Epps. We are packing to move back there. Thanks-- MaryK

Little Sis, aka Anne Russell once told me that Mother was the only person she knew who could get anywhere in Houston by only making right turns. I dedicate this forward to Mother. R Subject: Great Rememberance! This is a wonderful piece by Michael Gartner, editor of newspapers large and small and president of NBC News. In 1997, he won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing. It is well worth reading, and a few good chuckles are guaranteed. My father never drove a car. Well, that's not quite right. I should say I never saw him drive a car. He quit driving in 1927, when he was 25 years old, and the last car he drove was a 1926 Whippet. "In those days," he told me when he was in his 90s, "to drive a car you had to do things with your hands, and do things with your feet, and look every which way, and I decided you could walk through life and enjoy it or drive through life and miss it." At which point my mother, a sometimes salty Irishwoman, chimed in: "Oh, bull----!" she said. "He hit a horse." "Well," my father said, "there was that, too." So my brother and I grew up in a household without a car. The neighbors all had cars -- the Kollingses next door had a green 1941 Dodge, the VanLaninghams across the street a gray 1936 Plymouth, the Hopsons two doors down a black 1941 Ford -- but we had none. My father, a newspaperman in Des Moines, would take the streetcar to work and, often as not, walk the 3 miles home. If he took the streetcar home, my mother and brother and I would walk the three blocks to the streetcar stop, meet him and walk home together. My brother, David, was born in 1935, and I was born in 1938, and sometimes, at dinner, we'd ask how come all the neighbors had cars but we had none. "No one in the family drives," my mother would explain, and that was that. But, sometimes, my father would say, "But as soon as one of you boys turns 16, we'll get one." It was as if he wasn't sure which one of us would turn 16 first. But, sure enough , my brother turned 16 before I did, so in 1951 my parents bought a used 1950 Chevrolet from a friend who ran the parts department at a Chevy dealership downtown. It was a four-door, white model, stick shift, fender skirts, loaded with everything, and, since my parents didn't drive, it more or less became my brother's car. Having a car but not being able to drive didn't bother my father, but it didn't make sense to my mother. So in 1952, when she was 43 years old, she asked a friend to teach her to drive. She learned in a nearby cemetery, the place where I learned to drive the following year and where, a generation later, I took my two sons to practice driving. The cemetery probably was my father's idea. "Who can your mother hurt in the cemetery?" I remember him saying more than once. For the next 45 years or so, until she was 90, my mother was the driver in the family. Neither she nor my father had any sense of direction, but he loaded up on maps -- though they seldom left the city limits -- and appointed himself navigator. It seemed to work. Still, they both continued to walk a lot. My mother was a devout Catholic, and my father an equally devout agnostic, an arrangement that didn't seem to bother either of them through their 75 years of marriage. (Yes, 75 years, and they were deeply in love the entire time.) He retired when he was 70, and nearly every morning for the next 20 years or so, he would walk with her the mile to St. Augustin's Church. She would walk down and sit in the front pew, and he would wait in the back until he saw which of the parish's two priests was on duty that morning. If it was the pastor, my father then would go out and take a 2-mile walk, meeting my mother at the end of the service and walking her home. If it was the assistant pastor, he'd take just a 1-mile walk and then head back to the church. He called the priests "Father Fast" and "Father Slow." After he retired, my father almost always accompanied my mother whenever she drove anywhere, even if he had no reason to go along. If she were going to the beauty parlor, he'd sit in the car and read, or go take a stroll or, if it was summer, have her keep the engine running so he could listen to the Cubs game on the radio. In the evening, then, when I'd stop by, he'd explain: "The Cubs lost again. The millionaire on second base made a bad throw to the millionaire on first base, so the multimillionaire on third base scored." If she were going to the grocery store, he would go along to carry the bags out -- and to make sure she loaded up on ice cream. As I said, he was always the navigator, and once, when he was 95 and she was 88 and still driving, he said to me, "Do you want to know the secret of a long life?" "I guess so," I said, knowing it probably would be something bizarre. "No left turns," he said. "What?" I asked. "No left turns," he repeated. "Several years ago, your mother and I read an article that said most accidents that old people are in happen when they turn left in front of oncoming traffic. As you get older, your eyesight worsens, and you can lose your depth perception, it said. So your mother and I decided never again to make a left turn." "What?" I said again. "No left turns," he said. "Think about it. Three rights are the same as a left, and that's a lot safer. So we always make three rights." "You're kidding!" I said, and I turned to my mother for support "No," she said, "your father is right. We make three rights. It works." But then she added: "Except when your father loses count." I was driving at the time, and I almost drove off the road as I started laughing. "Loses count?" I asked. "Yes," my father admitted, "that sometimes happens. But it's not a problem. You just make seven rights, and you're okay again." I couldn't resist. "Do you ever go for 11?" I asked. "No," he said " If we miss it at seven, we just come home and call it a bad day. Besides, nothing in life is so important it can't be put off another day or another week." My mother was never in an accident, but one evening she handed me her car keys and said she had decided to quit driving. That was in 1999, when she was 90. She lived four more years, until 2003. My father died the next year, at 102. They both died in the bungalow they had moved into in 1937 and bought a few years later for $3,000. (Sixty years later, my brother and I paid $8,000 to have a shower put in the tiny bathroom -- the house had never had one. My father would have died then and there if he knew the shower cost nearly three times what he paid for the house.) He continued to walk daily -- he had me get him a treadmill when he was 101 because he was afraid he'd fall on the icy sidewalks but wanted to keep exercising -- and he was of sound mind and sound body until the moment he died. One September afternoon in 2004, he and my son went with me when I had to give a talk in a neighboring town, and it was clear to all three of us that he was wearing out, though we had the usual wide-ranging conversation about politics and newspapers and things in the news. A few weeks earlier, he had told my son, "You know, Mike, the first hundred years are a lot easier than the second hundred." At one point in our drive that Saturday, he said, "You know, I'm probably not going to live much longer." "You're probably right," I said. "Why would you say that?" He countered, somewhat irritated. "Because you're 102 years old," I said. "Yes," he said, "you're right." He stayed in bed all the next day. That night, I suggested to my son and daughter that we sit up with him through the night. He appreciated it, he said, though at one point, apparently seeing us look gloomy, he said: "I would like to make an announcement. No one in this room is dead yet" An hour or so later, he spoke his last words: "I want you to know," he said, clearly and lucidly, "that I am in no pain. I am very comfortable. And I have had as happy a life as anyone on this earth could ever have." A short time later, he died. I miss him a lot, and I think about him a lot. I've wondered now and then how it was that my family and I were so lucky that he lived so long. I can't figure out if it was because he walked through life, Or because he quit taking left turns. " Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it." ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Wade White will be performing Thursday at 7 p.m. The C-Times this week had a insert (8 page magazine) about the RR Co Fair.. Wednesday starting at 7 p.m. will be square dancing with dancers from all over the country. (not just county). Raymond Whellington will be the square dance caller. I hope to visit with Ray. He use to call on me at the drug store in Avery when I was there in the 70s. He was a salesman for the Drug Wholesaler out of Texarkana. I have heard him call before. He is great. I remember him doing "The Yellow Rose of Texas" to square dance tune. It was unusual to me but showed how good he was (is). I have not seen him in about 20 years now. More on the Fair later. Russell Green will at 8 p.m. Wednesday night and do also a tribute to Elvis.

I got this reply from a classmate. RRC does have the only fare free fair in Texas. At least, I could find no counter examples. Most seem to have a small charge just to keep out the homeless. Kendall county has one free night, but charges $5 for other nights when they have live entertainment like Cross Canadian Ragweed. The fair in Belton lets military personnel in free, but charges civilians.

Tomorrow night, Friday 7:30 p.m. at Clarksville, the Tigers play Tom Bean Tomcats for Homecoming. Clarksville is 1-1 and Tom Bean is 0-2. Hope to see some of you guys there. Tigers have a new head coach this year, Phillip Eddins. He had been a assistant coach, not sure how long. Two of Clarksville assistant coaches are Dillard (played with the Giants) and Lonta (sp) Hobbs, 4 year running back for TCU. I think the Tigers have some very good player that can light it up, I hope someone turns on the switch Friday night. Prairiland got beat Friday night by Pottsboro 42-0. Too bad because Prairiland had their first game on their new artificial turf. Not much of that in this corner of the state. I see in the Times that Dr Muthappa's son, Deepak, got married back on Dec 24, 2006 in Bangalore, India to Pooja. She has a degree in Economics and Deepak is a graduate of Princeton Univ and is currently attending Medical School at University of Mysore (India?). The couple will be honored with a reception at the Italian Bistro, on the square in Clarksville, on Wed, Sept 19, 2007 with a come & go (no gifts). I remember well Dr Muthappa sewing up my son's hand when we were in Avery in the 70s. Good man. My son as playing pee wee baseball but he tore his hand up swing on a guide line to a light pole. The Fall Bazaar is scheduled for Oct 6. (Red River County Historical Society) The Red River County Fair is Sept. 19-22. As it is said, "It is still the only free fair in the state". The Fair parade is set for Wednesday at 5 p.m. Sept 19 beginning at the Rodeo Arena beside the Fair grounds. Exhibit Building Check-in is Sept 18 (Tue) from 1 to 6 p.m. Horticulture check in (cut flowers maybe brought in Wednesday from 8 to 9 a.m. The Times list some good entertainers that will perform during the fair. I have probably hundred of pictures of the back roads of RR Co, I keep thinking that one year I will fix up some kind of display of them on a wall size county map at the exhibition building. Placing each picture at it proper location on the map. Maybe next year. Since I do not live in Red River County (15 miles out), I could not be an official entry for a ribbon, but that would be ok. Have a good week-en. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx p.s. does anyone know of any other county fair in Texas that does not charge admission. Maybe there is one or two others.

Does anyone have access to burial records in Red River County that might show James Lester Stone. He died in Arkansas on the way home from the Civil War and it's a long shot that he would have been brought back to TX, but it's a thought. He died on July 19, 1863 and he is not at Stones Chapel. Does anybody have any ideas what was done with the remains when a Confederate died on the way home? Edith/Duncanville ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Gillie W. Quick CLARKSVILLE - Gillie W. Quick, 89, of the Madras Community in Red River County died Thursday, Sept. 6, 2007, in Clarksville Nursing Center. Funeral services are set for 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 8, in Lindeman Chapel of Clarksville Funeral Home with Jack Holt officiating. Burial follows in Madras Cemetery under the direction of Clarksville Funeral Home. The family receives friends an hour before service time at the funeral home. She was born Oct. 15, 1917, in Red River County, the daughter of Marshal Lee and Jessie Joe Bledsoe Woods. She was a member of Shiloah Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Madras, a homemaker and loved crafts and gardening. She was preceded in death by her husband, John D. Quick and a brother, Richard H. Woods. She is survived by a sister, Ophelia Compton of the Madras Community; two brothers, Marshal Joe Woods and Bill Woods of the Madras Community, along with several nieces and nephews. Published September 7, 2007

I see in the Paris News that Gillie Woods Quick, age 90 of Clarksville died this Thursday morning. Guillie lived at Concord/Madras all her life until she had to move to Clarksville (town) about 2 years ago. I visited with her several times over the past 10 years. She told me a lot about Concord and the Giddens family. I don't remember her husband's name but I will find out tomorrow when the obit should be out. I plan to make her funeral. Her brother is Bill Woods of Concord/Madras. Her parents were Marshall Lee Woods and wife Jessie Joe Bledsoe Woods, daughter of Joe and Mary Barnett Bledsoe. It is the Barnett connect that make my ancestors the same as Gillie's. Gillie told me she was named for Guillie Giddens that was buried at Concord when she was 20 years old in her wedding dress. She died before she got married. Guillie told me her father name her after Guillie Giddens because she was the most beautiful woman he ever saw. Gillie Giddens was the daughter of Francis Marion Giddens and Elizabeth Francis Cherry Giddens Jim Giddens Paris, Tx

The family came to Lamar Co. between 1890-1900 they did share cropping and worked for farmers where they could get work odd jobs ect. my guess is that there was a job in Collin CO that JD could get, he was very much a family man so he would have taken his family with him.
