icing on the cake, so to
speak.
"It's my desire to keep this
type of Country music alive,
particularly Western Swing
music," Sollis said. "I like to
see the young people. It's the
thrill of my life. It adds to my
love of education. It's prolong-
ing my interest in education
and young people."
Many of the campers fall in
the teen and pre-teen category
too young to remember Bob
Wills and other musicians who
popularized the musical genre,
but not too young to learn to
play "Faded Love" and like it.
Fiddler John Jennings, 13, is
from Nocona. He's been play-
ing the fiddle for five years and
doesn't apologize for his
favorite music - - even if his
peers don't share his interests

and taste.
"It's better than the new
stuff," Jennings said. "It's bet-
ter than Classical."
It was Jennings' second year
to attend the music camp — a
place where he could connect
with other people his age to
play the music they all like.
Maybe it's natural that
Western Swing music from the
1930s and 1940s should still be
popular even among some
young people — in the part of
the country that spawned it in
the first place, namely Texas
and Oklahoma and, later,
thanks to the Dust Bowl migra-
tion, California.
If anything is a surprise, it's
the current popularity of
Western Swing in other parts of
the world.
Ask Allsup. He was just
back from his latest trip to
Europe when camp started.
"We've played Western
Swing in England, Scotland,
The Netherlands, Greece,
France - in the French Alps
next to Switzerland," he said.
"They all know 'San Antonio
Rose.' 'Right or Wrong' is very
popular. 'Milk Cow Blues' is
very popular. They know that
song. They have lots of ques-
tions to ask me about Bob
Wills."
It's a small world when it
spins to Western Swing.
More information about the
yearly music camp is available
from J.W. Sollis at
jwsollis@yahoo.com.
The camp is a project of
Sollis, Allsup and Boatright.
Other teachers this year were
Kalli Harbin Burk and Linda
Steen, fiddle, and Neal Butler
and Ronny Dale Schultz, guitar.

Proposal
Dylan Hachtell surprised Lyndsey Keck, daughter of Wesley and
Mykale Keck of Nocona, with an engagement ring and a propos-
al while onboard the Carnival Conquest during their recent
cruise arranged by Passport Travel. Dylan and Lyndsey were
celebrating their graduations from MSU. According to Lyndsey,
it was very romantic to find an engagement ring in what she
thought was her dessert!

Effie Borden
SAINT JO Effie Borden at
the age of 91, was carried away
on eagle's wings and brought
into the presence of the Lord on
a beautiful Monday morning
July 14, 2008. Effie was a sweet
gentle Christian woman who
spent most of her hours reading
from her bible and doing bible
lessons. Throughout her life she
was surrounded by the love of
her children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. She was a
prayer warrior and a blessing to
her family.
Effie was born April 10, 1917
in Mansfield. She spent her
childhood in Gracemont, Okla.
When she was 18 she fell in love
and married Ralph E. Borden.
Ralph and Effie farmed the land
and brought three sons and four
daughters into the world, losing
one of their daughters as a baby.
When Effie was forty-three she
lost Ralph, her husband. Effie
remained in Gracemont for a
few years then she and her chil-
dren moved to St. Paul, Oregon.
After all of her children were
grown she moved to Sweet
Home, Oregon with her oldest
daughter Avis. Effie lived the
remainder of her life with her
daughter Avis intermittently
staying with her other children
in the Saint Jo area in Texas and
in Scotts Mills/Salem, Ore.
Effie was a longtime member
of the Church of Christ of Sweet
Home where she was well loved
and cared for by her church fam-
ily. Effie could rock a baby like
no other. Her favorite time of
the day was when the mail
came. She enjoyed when her
daughters took her to the beauty
shop to be pampered and their
long trips to Texas to see her
boys. She loved flowers, quilt-
ing and enjoyed putting puzzles
together, no matter if the pieces
actually fit.
Effie lost her oldest son
James Borden about five years
ago. Effie is survived by her
daughter-in-law Janice Borden
of Sweet Home, her daughters
Avis Kittson and Avis' ex-hus-
band Tom of Sweet Home,
Betty Kneeland and husband
Tom of Scotts Mills, Ore. and
Judy Frymire and husband Jim
of Salem, Ore. She is survived
by her sons Ralph Borden and
wife Linda of Saint Jo, and
David Borden and wife Ginger
of Gainesville. She was also sur-
vived by several quivers full of
grandchildren and great grand-
children and her brother Claude
Elrod of Maderia, Calif. Effie's
mother and father were George
and Martha Elrod, she also had
three sisters and three brothers
who preceded her in death.
Graveside services for Effie
are scheduled for 1 p.m.
Saturday July 19, in Gracemont
Cemetery, Gracemont, Okla. CE
Cole will officiate and seivices
are directed by McCoy Funeral
Home of Saint Jo.
