on soldiers who are deployed —
especially those who have fami-
lies because they are missing
that one time opportunity to
make a memory” he said.
Travis said he met with a few
of his friends early the next
morning, and they discussed the
idea of shipping Christmas
stockings to soldiers. It was
much cheaper to ship them to
the USO center in Afghanistan,
and they could fit about 30 to 35
of them per box.
So they hit every dollar store
in Denton and bought all the
stockings they could find.
By the time his son left in De-
cember 2013, Travis and seven or
eight friends were able to put to-
gether more than 600 Christ-
mas stockings in his garage to
send to Denton County soldiers
who were deployed overseas.
ieWe kind of wondered if it
would be a one-and-done type
deal,” Travis said. “But by July
[and] August, we’ve got people
contacting us and asking if we’re
going to do it again.”
Travis moved the stocking
staffer party in 2012 to the cafe-
teria at Denton Peterbilt, where
he worked for more than 30
years. More than dozen volun-
teers showed up a couple of days
after Thanksgiving to help him
stuff nearly 1,200 Christmas
stockings for the soldiers.
“Then it got crazy,” Travis said
and laughed.
Each year, more and more
people volunteer to stuff soldiers’
Christmas stockings, and the
number of Christmas stockings
being shipped out increases as
news ofNorth Texas Stockings for
Soldiers continues to be shared on
social media, Travis said
For example, local businesses
such as Denton Peterbilt have
stepped up to contribute stock-
ing stuffer items or to help cover
the stockings’ shipping costs. Ar-
ea schools, local church groups
and Girl Scout organizations al-
so started collecting stocking
stuffer items as well as volun-
teering to help whenever it
comes time to stuff the soldiers’
Christmas stockings.
This Christmas, Travis also
plans to hand deliver stockings
to veterans at the Sam Rayburn
Memorial Veterans Center in
Bonham and at the Liberty
House, a homeless shelter for
veterans in Fort Worth.
“Our sole purpose from Day 1
is to add a smile to as many de-
ployed soldiers as possible every
year,” he said. “And we feel like
eveiy stocking is one more
smile.”

and doughnuts.
And, of course, the ever-loyal
craft beer scene was doing its
part to promote local shopping.
East Side provided free drinks to
anyone who came in with a re-
ceipt from a local shop, and the
Bearded Monk housed a few
small business owners who do
not yet have a brick and mortar
store to sell their work.
One of the shopless owners,
David Antunes, has been craft-
ing leather goods for 12 years,
selling his work online and at
conventions around the coun-
try. With a booth set up in the
Bearded Monk, Antunes was
offering his customizable
leather beer accessories — six
packs and growler holders
made of leather.
“I like to tell people that I’m
making their future personal ar-
tifacts” he said. “It’s something
that is going to grow with them
in character, it’s going to age
beautifully, and it’s going to be
made how they want it.”
Since coming to Denton
three and a half years ago, An-
tunes has integrated himself
with the city’s coalition of small
business owners who support
local shopping year-round.
In fact, he was initially re-
ferred to the Bearded Monk by
another leather crafter, Clint
Wilkinson, who owns Bell and
Oak Leather Goods in Weldon’s
Saddle Shop.
“I’ll go to Weldon’s, and I love
those guys,” Antunes said. “I’ll go
there for some of my hardware
and materials if I’m in a pinch.”
Antunes said instead of being
a direct competitor to his busi-
ness, Wilkinson encouraged
him to join the Denton family.
And that is what supporting lo-
cal is all about, he said.
“It was really great to see an-
other leather worker recom-
mend my work,” Antunes said.
“It was a huge thing for me.”

Associated Press
CAIRO — Egypt on Satur-
day said there is a 90 percent
chance that hidden chambers
will be found within King Tu-
tankhamun’s tomb, based on
the preliminary results of a
new exploration of the 3,300-
year-old mausoleum.
Researchers say the discov-
ery of a new chamber could
shine new light on one of an-
cient Egypt’s most turbulent
times, and one prominent re-
searcher has theorized that the
remains of Queen Nefertiti
might be inside.
Egypt began the search for
the hidden chamber last week
Announcing the results of
three days of testing in the
southern city of Luxor, Antiq-
uities Minister Mamdouh el-
Damaty said the findings will
be sent to Japan for a month-
long analysis before the search
is resumed.
Luxor, in southern Egypt,
served as the pharaonic capital
in ancient times, and is home
to sprawling temples and sev-
eral ancient tombs.
