Letter
To The
Editor:
(Editor’s Note: The following
article was printed in the August
12, 1966 Fort Worth Star-Tele-
gram in George Dolan’s column,
This Is West Texas.. Johnnie
Jernigan submitted it to the
Eagle a few days ago and it is
well worth repeating.
Mr. and Mrs. Chester Moore;
their daughter and a grandchild
were driving from Fort Worth to
Fredericksburg to attend the
funeral of a close friend.
Eighteen miles out of Goldth-
waite, their car broke down.
It was well after midnight.
Soon, a truck driver stopped,
inquired about their problem and
promised to send help from
Goldthwaite.
At 2:30 a.m., Norman Duren
arrived. The Moores learned he
was the International Harvester
dealer at Goldthwaite.
Duren drove them to town, got
his wife’s car put of the garage,
filled it with gas and insisted that
they take it to Fredericksburg.
He said he’d have their car
towed into town and repaired so bride’s table was covered with a

Georgia Ann McGlothlin and
Keith Lane Harper were united in
marriage Saturday, January 5,
1991 at 6:00 p.m. in the evening
at the Star United Methodist
Church, Star, Texas. The
Reverend George Matthews, pas-
tor, performed the double ring
ceremony before an altar deco-
rated with English ivy and
primrose taffeta bows. Two
double heart candelabra, ribbon
garlands, and greenery decorated
the sanctuary area. The open
Holy Bible, a unity candle, and a
floral arrangement on the com-
munion table completed the
setting.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Wayne McGlothlin
of Brownwood and Mr. and Mrs.
John Long of San Saba. The
groom’s parents are Mr. and
Mrs. Karry Harper of Star.

Casbeer and the late Carl
Casbeer, and Mr. and Mrs. Leroy
Harper of Star.
Mrs. Sam Campbell of Star
presented wedding selections on
the piano. Sam Campbell joined
his wife for a vocal duet of “0
Perfect Love.” Other musical
selections were performed by Wes
Stevens, a college friend of the
couple, from Amarillo. These
included a duet of the “Battle
Hymn of Love” with Mrs.
Campbell and a song written for
the couple by the artist entitled
“A Cowboy’s Dream.”
The bride, given in marriage by
her parents, was escorted to the
altar on the arm of her father.
For her wedding the bride chose
a designer gown of ecru satin.
The upper bodice was fashioned
with a sweetheart neckline and
Schiffli lace embroidered with
pearls and sequins. The full
length skirt fell in soft gathers
and featured a cathedral train.
Three satin bows marked the
open vee back. The entire dress
sparkled with irridescent sequins
and pearls. To complete her
ensemble the bride wore an
irridescent circlet headpiece at-
tached to a slik illusion veil.
The bride carried a traditional
cascading bouquet of pink roses,
carnations, and English ivy
entwined with picot ribbons and
ropes of pearls., The bride carried
out the tradition of something,
old, something new, something
borrowed, and something blue.
The couple also chose to repeat
their vows in the same church
used by the groom’s parents in
1965.
Attending the bride was maid
of honor Selena McGlothlin, sister
of the bride. Bridesmaids were
Cynthia Warren of Fort Worth
and sister of the groom, Sonya
Harper. Attendants wore tea
length suits of moire taffeta. The
wrap-style jacket featured short
pouf sleeves and a dipped
peplum. A slim skirt completed
the ensemble. They carried
Victorian nosegays of primrose
and teal flowers.
Amy Simmons, cousin of the
bride, served as flower girl. She
wore a floral print, tea length
dress and carried a white basket
filled with pink rose petals.
The groom was attired in a
black tuxedo and his boutonniere
consisted of a pink rose and
baby’s breath. Serving the groom
as best man was Shane Crafton
of Henrietta. Groomsmen were
Shane Elliott of Clute, cousin of
the groom, and Glen Pittman of
May. Craig Line of Stephenville
ushered the guests. They all wore
black tuxedos with rose bouton-
nieres.
Ringbearer was Daniel Collins,
step-brother of the bride. He
carried a white satin pillow
accented with pearls and lace. He
wore black slacks, white oxford
shirt, and teal cummerbund and
bow tie.
Following the ceremony a
reception was held in the
fellowship hall of the church. The
included a kitchen shower given
by the bride’s co-workers in
Stephenville; a lingerie shower; a
rice bag party in the home of Jan
Yazell of Early; a gift tea in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Sam
Campbell of Star; and a brides-
maids luncheon give by Mrs.
Wilson Head and Mrs. Dave-
Grebe, aunt and cousin of the
groom, of Goldthwaite.
