Hello, I’m here to talk about a problem I’ve had. No, not that one. My weight. I’ve always had a problem with my weight. It goes back to when I was a jockey. Really. I was a jockey. We used to racehorses at Kenmare. It was a little three-eights mile dirt track. I race our saddle horses and Dad or Grandpa would race chariots. I was pretty young so I was designated jockey for a neighbors horses and ours. But I was growing. It was a problem. My next problem was I was underweight. I was a lineman for the Bombers. At six-t...

Thus, John Oliver was employed to supervise the transcribing of all county records. He received $7.50/day plus expenses for compensation. On the 18th of May, 1917, a resolution was passed giving Carter County its official existence. However, the county assessor and the county board of equalization could not complete the task of...

I found it very interesting that Bill Lavell shared some thoughts and experiences about Dr. Sandy in the Eagle dated Friday, March 24 and I had another article about Dr. Sandy at the same time. I believe my article answered some of his questions about the “pioneer gentleman doctor.” I would now like to expand on Sherry Farwell’s letter to the editor in regard to Bob Smith. Bob and I played independent basketball together and, as a referee, I worked some of his games. Ken Pulse, who was a barber at the time, and Ted Hanbe...
My father was not bald, although he died at 52, so who knows what his future might have revealed. My step-dad is 87, and while his hair has thinned, he isn’t bald either. My mother was 80 when she died, and though her hair was cut very short and white, her scalp still sprouted thick hair. It was my paternal grandmother, Grandma Huff, who had very thin hair as had her mother, Great Grandma Debo. I seem to have inherited that gene, and my medications could effect that, too. I take lots of medicine, most recently pain m...
