HOOKED 345
The meeting in 2004 was held in Allen. J. Michael made the
trip with me and also found a new set of friends in the TFS youth
members. A bit reluctant at first about going to a meeting, J.
Michael soon found that the kids were just as welcoming as the
adults, and I barely saw him the rest of our time in Allen. He, too,
was hooked.
J. Michael and I have both become involved in TFS and have
attended every meeting since our first. We even drove the next year
to El Paso to attend in 2005. In Galveston, the following year, J.
Michael participated in the Hoot by reading a few of my poems to
the group. He put together the PowerPoint presentation for my
paper on souvenir plates and made sure it went smoothly. Ken
Untiedt has accepted three more of my submissions for TFS publi-
cations, and I have read papers at three of the last five meetings. I
have already served the Society as a councilor and am presently a
member of the TFS board.
The Texas Folklore Society is like no organization in which I
have ever been a part. The people, the papers, and the traditions
are what make it unique. I treasure my TFS family and believe
strongly in the study, documentation, and preservation of the folk-
lore of Texas.
