Hello again, my gentle readers, fans, critics and admirers. I hope everyone is making it through this reasonably nice winter so far. January is almost over, leaving us February to go before Spring arrives.
We Eagles are saddened to hear that George Noble passed away last week. His memorial service will be this Saturday, Jan. 25, at 1pm at the New Edinburg Methodist Church. Keep his family in your prayers.
A small history blast, and an example that my once sharp memory is getting fuzzy as time passes: looking through some packed away books, I found a children's story book from my childhood titled "The Little Red Hen." The inscription on the inside cover reads "To James Boney from Mrs. Word, 12-25-75" which means it was a Christmas gift to me when I was 6 years old. I vaguely remember this book, but as to who Mrs. Word might be... it could have been Inez Word, Ione Word, Hazel Word, or perhaps Edra Word... all women who were important in my life then. I went to church with Miss Ione and Misss Inez, Miss Hazel was my Dad's former teacher and a great friend, and Miss Edra along with her husband Orie were some of the best friends a person could have. Who was the wonderful lady who gifted me with this treasure? Since they're all long passed, I'll probably never know.
Big deal, you might sarcastically say? Well, a lot of small deals get lost because things don't get written down, and life is comprised of small deals. Don't let yourself be forgotten.
Go Eagles.
