 Delton and Valerie McGuire went to Abilene to see their son Travis McGuire in a modern opera at Abilene Christian  University. The opera was "Street Scene" written by Kurt Weill and lyrics by Langston Hughes. The play "Street Scene" was written by Elmer Rice. Travis sang the bass lead role. The opera takes place in New York City in the  20's and tells about the lives of people living in 
tenements.

    Maxine Briggs from Nixon, Texas visited Maybelle and Gary Ray recently. Joyce, Randy and Brandon Capps from Lampasas visited Maybelle and Gary Ray last Saturday.  Joyce wanted to go see how low the water was around the lake at Bluffton and Tow.  Hope it has gotten full since it has been raining.  We all enjoyed the ride. 

 

    It is good to have Richard Randolph home from the hospital.  Kevin, Mary and Jaze Randolph spent the weekend with Richard and Jerry.  Mary Low had surgery at Scott and White at Temple last Friday.  She is at home and doing really good.
