Remember Faye and Mae Baggett?
She's on the left with her brother Donald. I remember playing jacks with them
outside Tyler Elementary when I first enrolled there during the 5th grade. Can you
find Faye in the picture below? Their brother Howard died recently, and their names
were in the obit. Faye Vance of Bedford and Mae Rutherford of Somerset, KY, were
listed as his sisters.

Feb. 3 from Jan:
I'm always asking you to write about what you've been doing, so I'll
tell you about my latest project. I've been working on genealogy. I
have been scanning old family photos into my computer to put
together a booklet of my greater family. When I get it all done, I plan
to give the originals of the photos to a cousin's daughter who is a
Mormon and is very much into this. She has given me the names of
our Bostick ancestors dating to 1700. The couple on the left are my
Bostick great-grandparents, who came to Texas from South Carolina.
They were near Glenrose and Granbury in 1896, when they were
married. Many of my Bostick relatives have Dumbo ears, and you can
readily see who bequeathed them to us. I do wish I could see how
she looked when she was a young woman---and had her teeth. She
was a kind and responsible mother, who, after having 14 children,
took my aunt to raise when her mother died after childbirth.
Great-grandfather Bostick looks very severe, but at least he had his
hair and a nice beard! Are you doing genealogy?

Feb. 3: Yes, Gary is truly a "word person"! He offers: As you begin
planning for your summer vacation, let me offer a few suggestions -
(My weakly submission may be in Submittable.)
I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently,
you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.
I didn't enjoy my visit in Cognito; no one recognizes you there.
There was a time I was in Eligible, but that was before I became a Senior.
I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to
be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends
and family.
Things move along slowly in Active.
There are directions to most everywhere in Dex.
I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump or leap, and I'm
not too much of a leaper anymore.
You can be in Stigater if you want to accomplish something.
I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit
there too often.
Every time I'm in Consistent, I enter by a different route.
If you want to hang out with a lot of smart people, you will be in Ferior.
For those who are wanting to be known in Telligent, you should avoid
being in Explicable.
I've been in Flexible, but only when it seemed very important to stand
firm.
Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I'm accused of being there more often as
I'm getting older.
I've passed thru, but never stopped, in Transit.
The last place you want to be is in Terred.
A choice spot to visit is in Teresting.
You could visit in Appropriate, but they have a strict dress code.
One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the
adrenalin flowing! I need to anticipate something will happen next!
I'm sure I've been in Continent, but I don't remember with certainty in
what country - it might have been in Voluntary.
It's another Mental Health Day. To avoid being in Adequate or in
Sensitive, you can do your bit by remembering to send an e-mail to at
least one unstable person.
My job is done! Gary, the Coaster in Consequential

Judy PS sends us a link to a country and
western song about Austin, memories thereof
from 1965 to 1995. They didn't have The
Matamoros, though, a restaurant on what is
now I-35 where some teacher (Mrs. Johnson
or Mrs. Henderson?) took a group of us from
BHS once. I still love Mexican food; as a
matter of fact, we're going out to a local
restaurant, Jarapeo, to indulge tonight...

The Confession
'Bless me Father, for I have sinned.
I have been with a loose girl'.
The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey Pagano ?'
'Yes, Father, it is.'
'And who was the girl you were with?'
'I can't tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation'.
"Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later
so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?'
'I cannot say.'
'Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?'
'I'll never tell.'
'Was it Nina Capelli?'
'I'm sorry, but I cannot name her.'
'Was it Cathy Piriano?'
'My lips are sealed.'
'Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?'
'Please, Father, I cannot tell you.'
The priest sighs in frustration.
'You're very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you've sinned
and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4
months. Now you go and behave yourself.'
Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over
and whispers, 'What'd you get?'
'Four months vacation and five good leads.'
