I am feeling overwhelmed today with love and pride for that building on the hill in Talco. You know the one.... the beautiful stately building that has stood for pride, honor, & sportsmanship since she was built in 1938. The beautiful majestic lady that was home to so many of us for 8 to 12 years of our lives. Where we were taught to love one another, discipline, to be courteous, to have honor, to be the very best citizen that we can be. When I look back on all the GREAT men and women that taught there, that were our friends, our surrogate fathers, mothers, brothers etc. I feel so blessed to have grown up there. We had the best upbringing that anyone could have ever had... we didnt have a lot of money. We didnt always get what we wanted BUT we got everything we needed to be healthy and happy. We had love. Love for God, love for our families, our friends and our school and community. So many people never know the feeling of such pride and such warmth as we had in our little hamlet. Growing up Talco was a privilege.....I am so honored to have called so many of the people there my friends, my family, my teachers. I am looking forward to the decoration day at our cemetery on Saturday. I am calling on every TROJAN, Rebel and Talco resident that can possibly make it to come out and support this effort. Now is the time for EVERY ONE who loves Talco, remembers what she once was and wants to see her rise up and be all that she can be to come out and support all the efforts that are taking place. By this I am talking about serving stepping up and doing WHATEVER it takes to make all the dreams for Talco a reality. Dont let you or your family be the name in Talco history that is known for standing in the way of progress for Talco, East Texas and Americas youth.... lets band together to see that we are a part of the History we are proud of for ourselves and for our descendants. God is working hard right now in Talco. I dont know what his plan is, I dont know WHY I have been chosen to be a part of it but I am so grateful to be the smallest part of it. I have no money or land to give BUT I have my time , my heart and my love to give to this project and I am grateful to have been selected to serve on the Talco Cemetery Association board and also to be involved in the upcoming restoration of the beloved school building in any capacity. God has blessed me so... Keep praying everyone. There is restoration coming, jobs and renewal of spirits. Yes, God is on the move and I am so happy that I have lived long enough to see this taking place.
