MR. SAM
C. Dwight Dorough, English pro-
fessor at the University of Hous-
ton, has written a book about
^MR. SAM” Rayburn. (p. 80
Rjwsweek, Aug. 27th).
^Interesting paragraph: “When
he was 45 he married the 27-year-
old sister of a good friend of his.
The couple were divorced in less
than three months and there was
never public light on the matter.”
The fine woman (whom we
know) was the sister of Judge
Marvin Jones (native of Valley
View), and niece of a former
long-time citizen of Denton, Mrs.
W. C. Moss. She later married Mr.
Jeff Neely, a prominent ranchman
and insurance man in Amarillo.
They have one of the finest fam-
ilies in the Panhandle. Mrs. Neely
still looks young.
MmRS. GEORGE H. BELL
Director Stoddard Hall, TWU
This lovely lady was on the bus
enroute to her home in Mexia for
a two weeks vacation.
She is a first cousin of J. San-
ford Smith, Blake and Ben Smith,
bankers and oil men, officers in
First National Bank (formerly the
Pendergast-Smith Bank) in Mexia.
Mrs. Bell’s late husband was a
wholesale grocer who died three
years ago in Mexia. She is kin to
half-a-dozen of Mexia’s leading
families. In fact, with our long-
time knowledge of Mexia people,
we think she is kin to as many
fine old families in Mexia as any
other living person. Her maiden
name was Karner.
BOBBIE JACKKSON
_ Prof. R. E. Jackson’s son, “Bob-
Oa,” drives up from Fort Worth
^very Tuesday morning to have
breakfast with his dad. That is the
nicest thing we have heard about
in a long, time.
Bob is an engineer, and a mem-
ber of the firm of Yandel, Cowan,
-.ove, mechanical engineers and
^consultants.
Bob’s wife is the former Betty
Ruth Davis, daughter of Alonzo
and Ophelia Davis. They have two
children: Bobbie (Robt. Earl, III),
age 12 and Linda, 9.
MRS. THOMAS M. RAWDON
Former Norrie Jean McKee
Miss Norrie Jean McKee and Thomas M. Rawdon were
married at the First Christian Church. Dr. L. L. Arm-
strong, pastor of the First Baptist Church, officiated in
the double-ring ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Brown Mc-
Kee of 2104 Redwood. The bridegroom is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. John Rawdon of Dallas.
Our principal interest in this wedding is the fact that
Norrie Jean is the granddaughter of our good friends,
John and Edna McKee, who live next door to their son
and daughter-in-law. The John McKees are members
of our Sunday School class.
After a wedding trip to Hot Springs, Ark., these newly
weds will be at home in Dallas. The bride attended
NTSU and is employed at the Toleda Scale Co. in Dallas.
The bridegroom is employed by Sunset Motor Co. in Dal-
las.
The McKees are from Redfield, S.D. and are among
the finest families who have moved to Denton in recent
years.
Following the wedding there was a reception at the
Denton Country Club.
Members of the house party were Mrs. Nan Riney,
Miss Jane O’Rear and Miss Lynda Rench, all of Denton.
CHARLES MORRIS
The editor was the guest of
Charles Morris, president of the
Jaycees and parts manager for
Chester Morris Chevrolet, at Pat
Boone’s. We asked about the rela-
tive size of the new Chevrolet
place on University Drive. He
said, “Well, you may get an idea
from the number of stalls in the
service department — in the old
location we had eight, in the new
place we have twenty-two.
Charles is very enthusiastic
about the Jaycees. He said, “We
have had thirteen new members
added in the last forty-seven
days.”
His lovely wife was Gina (like
Jena) Fortenberry of Slidell. They
have three children: Charles, 7,
Mark, 5, and Carol, 3. The great-
est thing in the world is a happy
family like this one.
Charles called our attention to
the portrait by Mr. Bur chard of
Cindy Thomas, Miss Denton 1962,
in the lobby of The Commodore,
“in living color and it is beauti-
ful.”
The current (Aug.) teenager of
the month (August) at Pat Boone’s
by Marvin Loveless, is Marianne
Gerding, daughter of Dr. and Mrs.
J. L. Gerding.
THE JUNIOR CHAMBER
A very interesting program at
the Jaycees. The speaker, Shelly
B. Myers, a hypnotist, “Hypnosis
Study Groups,” Dorchester House.
Gaston Avenue, Dallas.
Myers demonstrated his ability
to hypnotize members of the audi-
ence. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Myers, a very lovely and
attractive lady. We visited. Her
advice: “Quit telling people your
age.” Our reply: “Lady it’s too
late, everybody knows by now.”
Mr. Myers lectures weekly at
Club Dallas, Inc., on Browder St.
What a fine couple!
LABOR DAY
Don’t ever plan to stay in Denton
on Labor Day-any Labor Day
— unless you have company in the
house. The town appears to be
completely deserted — and it’s
lonesome.
