Yeah Jim, my husband's starting to put his two cents in the plan formation...darn it! Sorry to hear about Eddie, my Roy was real excited he might get to meet his "science e-m pal". I know my husband, he'll try to make us stay home where its "safer". Sometimes I think I married an old woman! No offense ladies, but you know what I mean. Which reminds me of this little prayer, and I hope no one thinks I'm being blasphemous...far from it~~~ Dear Lord, I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him; And Patience for his moods; Because Lord if I pray for Strength I'll beat him to death. Amen! And a great Sunday morning to you from Pecan Gap!

No problem Carrie, even if you married an old woman, it's legal now. Not too much fun, but legal.

Carrie, (and all) I did talk to Gene Weaver at Avery last Saturday. If you remember, he and his brother Floyd Weaver are basketball and baseball players from Pecan Gap. Floyd pitched a little in the pros. They both played at Paris Junior College. Gene still has a nice 1957 Chevy that he obtained in the 70s or 80s. They put Gene's name on the new gym at Avery. Also talked with Bruce Duncan, Valarie Mann, Ollie Vasquez, Willie Joe Warren, a Mr Stidhman that knew some of my Giddens of the English area, and many others. In Pittsburg today I meet a Don Emery that is/was a cousin to Red Emery of Clarksville. Don was born and raised at Brewster south of Clarksville. I never knew him. I think he is in his early 50s. Tom, did you know these Emery people. Red had the Humble station on west main and announce the high school football games at the stadium when I was playing. We would listen to them play it on KCAR the following Saturday morning. Red has two sons a little younger than me, Randy and Kenney. Randy was head football coach at Highland Park (Dallas) for about one year after Frank Beavers retired. Those were big shoes to attempt to fill. This was around 1990 but don't remember the exact year.
