Many memories through the years. 9 years of school together, but the memory I will carry with me is the conversation Chris and I had the summer I was president of the summer baseball program. I had two or three meetings with Pete about the kids stomping his cotton to death chasing foul balls. I never argued with Mr. Ford, I respectfully replied yes sir and no sir and vowed to try my hardest to keep the kids out of the cotton field. Then came the meeting with Chris. We talked a long time out there in the cotton field, both of us trying to keep the kids out of the field. After a coup!e of hours, Chris turned to me and said" You can't win t!his battle, can you". Again I promised to do my best and we parted ways. Contact was lost, but we are all forever connected through our years of small town life in New Deal Texas. My prayers go up tonight for Cindy, Melinda, and Greg, and Matthew May God grant you and your families the peace and comfort you need in this time of great sorrow!
