Angels among us
The winds have dispersed the mushroom cloud that hovered over the small town of West. The dust has settled. The President of the United States, the Governor of Texas and other dignitaries have come to join in the memorial for those who lost their lives.

Missing the fun
Sad to say, in the 11 years The Little Woman (don’t call me that!) and I lived in Navarro County, we never attended the annual Derrick Days festivities.

Sadness
It seems somewhat fitting in my eyes that we will have a celebration of Bobby Fluker’s life during the weekend of Derrick Days. He passed away after a short illness on Thursday, April 25.
