While going through some old files recently, I came upon the following information. As you read it, remember the date and the amount. How many years ago? It doesn’t seem possible that the high school is that old; and what a bargain! I believe Jim Anderson was superintendent at the time and I was chairman of the board. The debt was to be paid in twenty years and each payment was for sixty-five thousand dollars. The following minutes are from the January 11, 1979 Carter County High School board meeting. “(THIRD MEETING) MINUTES...

This week I would like to share more on the Ed and Mabel McCord family which I wrote about in the September 30th Eagle. Their daughter, Ruth, shared a full life history of her parents and children.

I was in the seventh grade and Dale McCord was an eighth grader. At his graduation in the old high school, a couple from Alzada came for the occasion. Things had been worked out and we loaded...

Cowboy. Rancher. Pickup Man. Pilot. Sheepman. Neighbor. Friend.

Schneider's grandchildren enjoyed picking out a book at home that they had read and taking...
