The Dublin Citizen
Sec. A, Page 3
Museums are really about
places and people and their
stories. And, one of the
marvelous things about the
Dublin Historical Museum
is the wonderful, growing
collection of stories of
Dubliners and this special
place called Dublin, Texas.
Yes, many Dubliners have
scattered around the globe,
seen and done sometimes
unimaginable things. But
wherever and whatever has
been their experience, it
truly is a part of Dublin's
story, too.
Often those experiences
are tied to international
and national affairs, as our
Veterans Memorial Room
illustrates. And, there are
countless examples of
Boston U
graduates
Dubliner
BostonUniversity awarded
academic degrees to 1,613
students in September 2013.
Among the graduates was
Brittany A. Delavergne, who
received a Master of Music
in Music Education.
Founded in 1839, Boston
University is an
internationally recognized
institution of higher
education and research.
Consisting of 16 schools
and colleges, BU offers
students more than 250
programs of study.

Cont’d from A2
know that some areas of the
oceans are warmer than in
years past, and this can
contribute to more intense
storms."
Q; What specific areas of
water are warmer?
A: The Atlantic Ocean,
Nielsen-Gammon says, is
scientifically proven to be
warmer than normal. "Large
areas of the Atlantic are at
least one degree warmer
than in years past, and this
goes back to 1995," he points
out. "So we have had a decade
of warmer water there, and
that's where hurricanes form.
The long-range outlook tells
us that this warming trend
Dubliners and their Texas/
Erath County stories in
every area of the Museum.
Coming Soon
Last November, the
Museum hosted a day of
recognition of the 49th
anniversary of the
assassination of President
John F. Kennedy. Ben Pate
and Julia Broussard shared
films, newspapers and
more. Travis and Melba
Raspberry brought Travis'
"Kennedy rocker" and told
the story. The Museum
Lady shared her collection
of magazines and papers.
And quite a few Dubliners
shared memories of that
event, where they were,
what it was like, what they
heard.
As this November 22nd is
the 50th anniversary and
as the response to last
year's program was well-
received, the Museum is
hosting another Kennedy
Day of Recognition on
Saturday, November 23rd.
The Museum will be
opening at 10 a.m. and
closing at the regular 5 p.m.
A few new things are being
added, and it promises to
be a very good event.
(Thanks to host Ben Pate
for his enthusiasm and
support.)
Jerry Flemmons and Mrs.
Nichols
Those who remember or
who have studied about
that 'dark day' know the
story of Lee Harvey Oswald
who killed the President
and then was later killed by
Jack Ruby.
One of the pall-bearers at
Lee Harvey Oswald's funeral
at Rose Hill Cemetery in
East Fort Worth was a
young reporter from the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
named Jerry Flemmons
from Stephenville. (Later he
would be the newspaper's
Travel Editor and an
accomplished, award-
winning author.)
A tie to the Dublin
Historical Museum? Oh,
yes. This past year, the
Museum was given several
artifacts from the estate of
Ora B and Robert Dale
Burnett. Among the things
was a box of school-related
materials that had belonged
to Ora B's mother, Grace
Nichols, a beloved Dublin
elementary teacher.
Keepsake Treasures
In a fragile, gray, aging
envelop labeled "Keepsake
Letters" there are two
poems written by 3rd
grader Jerry Flemmons..
.the fellow who would later
travel the world, always
observing and writing—
and also being a pall-bearer
at the funeral of the man
who killed the President of
the United States in 1963.
The first poem “The End
of the War, I Hope” was
written in 1945; the second,
“Our Teacher” was a gift to
Mrs. Nicols in the Spring of
1946.
“Our Teacher”
“Our teacher is a good
friend.
Thow school is about to
end.
She taught us and taught
us all the year.
But she is still a teacher
dear. She taught us English
and spelling, too, And
worlds and worlds of things
to do.
We’ll study year after
year. Just because of our
teacher dear.”
No wonder Mrs. Nicols
treasured the little verse, as
now it is treasured by the
Museum. (Both poems will
be on display November
23rd.)
‘Dear Teachers’ ALL
More very special
happenings recently have
been the visit to the Museum
by all of the Sophomores of
DHS, arranged by one of
today’s ‘dear teachers,’ Lisa
Leatherwood. Thanks go to
Mrs. Thomas, Mr. Barnes,
Coach Lewis, Coach Lewis,
Mrs. Gabel, and Miss Wilson
for the extra effort and to
ALL of the Sophomores for
being such super Museum
visitors!
Thanks, too, to Fran Pate
Jumey (another former
Dublin ‘dear teacher’) for
helping the Museum Lady
hosting for the day. What
fun for her to see quite a
few of her ex-pre-
kindergarteners! And, what
fun for them. Ask any host
or hostess and they will tell
you, it IS rewarding to show
and tell Dublin’s remarkable
story! They are there
faithfully every afternoon
to welcome one and all.
Don’t miss it.

Army National Guard
Spec. Clint N. Elms has
graduated from basic
infantry training at Fort
Benning, Columbus, Ga.
During the nine weeks of
training, the soldier received
training in drill and
ceremonies, weapons, map
reading, tactics, military
courtesy, military justice,
physical fitness, first aid,
and Army history, core
values and traditions.
Additional training included
development of basic
combat skills and battlefield
operations and tactics, and
experiencing use of various
weapons and weapons
defenses available to the
infantry crewman.
Elms is the son of Cindra
Elms of County Road 390,
Stephenville.

Stephenville High School.
He received a master’s
degree in 2002 from Texas
Tech University, Lubbock.
could continue another 5 to
20 years. Since warmer water
means stronger storms and
hurricanes, it could mean
stronger storms in the future.
There were three hurricanes
in 2005 that reached category
5 status - the strongest level
- but it remains to be seen if
that will happen in the years
to come."
Haze
Q; What exactly is haze?
A: Haze is usually defined
as fine particles of dust or
smoke that are dispersed
through portions of the
atmosphere, says McRoberts
of Texas A&M University.
"These particles are so small
that they cannot be felt or
seen individually with the

naked eye," he explains.
"These particles tend to
decrease visibility in the area,
and because of the way they
refract light, can give a tint to
the sky that can appear as
brown, green, grey or other
colors. Under stagnant air
conditions, the air can be
trapped in valleys or canyons
and produce a layer of haze
that can stretch for miles."
Q; Where can haze occur?
A: Just about anywhere,
and in recent years, some of
the worst cases have occurred
in Latin American and in
Southeast Asia, McRoberts
says. "Forest fires and brush
fires in some areas of the
world produce hazy
conditions that can be seen
from space. The thick smoke
can wander over huge
portions of the Earth,
including parts of the United
States. Because haze is
basically bad air, it can be
very hazardous to human
health, especially to people
who have difficulty breathing.
Long-term exposure can
produce lung and eye
diseases and that's why a
concerted effort has been
made to make sure that
logging companies and
others are aware of the risks
associated with haze," he
points out.
UFO Clouds
Q; There's supposed to be a
type of cloud that is often
confused with being a UFO.
What kind of cloud is it?
A: It's most likely the
lenticular cloud, says
McRoberts.. Lenticular clouds
are so-called because they
often look like a camera lens.
They can produce some of
the oddest shapes of all
clouds, many times looking
like huge pancakes stacked
on top of each other, he
reports. "One reason they
may be mistaken for UFOs is
their odd shape," McRoberts
explains. "Also, lenticular
clouds don't move like other
clouds, they tend to linger in
one spot for a long time.
They are often seen in the
western U.S. but have been
photographed all over the
world, including Spain,
Australia and France."
Q: What causes their
strange shape?
A: "Lenticular clouds are
often formed by waves of air
moving over highmountains,"
McRoberts adds. "At the
highest points in the cloud,
moisture condenses in an
outward motion. By doing
so, it tends to form a wave-
like appearance and the
edges are round, giving them
the appearance of a flying
saucer. Some scientists
believe lenticular clouds tell
us a change in the weather is
coming, often meaning a
snowstorm. If you can find
photos of lenticular clouds
in weather books, you'll agree
that they are some of the
strangest looking clouds
produced by nature."
That answers a number of
curious items about
weather.
