Remarks
By Marc Johnson
What a beautiful weekend! And a
busy one, too. I still say them
weatherfolks
would do better
if’n they’d git an
office with wind-
ers in it. That
way, they could
look outside and
see just what be
happenin'.
They w&s1
talkin’ ’bout it gittin’ colder’n a well-
diggers behind in the Klondike of a
morn in’ Didn’t seem to happen in
this neck of the woods. I reckon
that’ll wait 'til all, not just part, of
the trees be bloomin’ — And then
look out.
Ivan and Junelle Johnson had a
beautiful afternoon last Sattidy to
celebrate their 50th wedding anni-
versary. Many, many, friends and
neighbors showed up at St. Olaf to
visit with this neat couple and help
them celebrate. I got there too late
fer the program but I understand
that Dennis arid Bro. Bill Schibler
brought out a good’un.
You could almost sing the names
on the guest list. See can you do it
from this partial list. There was
Johnsons and Jensons, Knudsons
and Swenson, Tergersons and
Eeiersons, and on and on. I done
told you this was just a partial list
so don’t git mad if yore name wasn’t
on it. ’Bout 200 folks there so you
know I couldn’t list’em all. But I will
tell you that all who did attend had
a great time. We ll be lookin’ for-
ward to whatever anniversary you
decide to celebrate next.
Milton and Odessa Lindberg
down to Clifton had a bunch of
company Sunday at their house.
Just a whole bunch of friends and
neighbors dropped by to wish her
a Happy Birthday. She’s 90 years
young. They lived many years out
here in the Gap Community be-
fore moving to Clifton and we still
miss’em. Happy Birthday, Odessa,
and we all hope you have many,
many more.
Pastor Ken gave me an article
he’d clipped out of one of his pas-
toral magazines. It was submitted
by Bishop Robert Fannin of the
North Alabama conference of the
United Methodist Church.
Seems there was a woman with
a! terminal illness had a dream
Which was limited to scheming
how to cause trouble after her
death. She went to a portrait
painter and asked if he could paint
a picture of her that she could give
to ' er husband before she died.
He immediately began his as-
signment, but at the first sitting,
the woman asked if he could paint
a gorgeous diamond and sapphire
necklace around her neck. He
said, of course, but he asked her
to bring in the necklace next time
so he could see what he was paint-
ing.
She announced that she
couldn’t do that. She didn’t own
such a necklace.
Then why did she want it in the
picture?
“My husband has his eye on a
neighbor lady down the street.
And after I die and they get to-
gether, I want her to spend the
rest of her life looking for that
necklace.”
Y’all may have heard of the lady
what advertised a late model
Porsche automobile in the paper
for sale fer only $50. Course the
first feller there, after being as-
sured that the title was clean,
bought it. Then he asked her just
how she could afford to sell a car
like that so cheap?
She promptly told him her hus-
band had run off to South
America, or someplace, with his
secretary. Sent her a message fer
her to sell all his stuff and mail
him half the money. And she
planned on sendin’ him the $25
fust thing in the morning.
The Halloween trespassers
down at the Rock Church are sup-
posedly scheduled fer county
court about the middle of March.
No explanation about why it’s
takin’ so long. It seems to be a
purty simple case.
And the Ruben Tindall case is
also still pending. The juveniles
will be in county court and the
adults will be handled in district
court. Ain’t got a clue yet as to
when this deal will come up but I
will try to keep you posted on both
of ’em. Justice swift and sure?
What’s yore call?
Got a brand new crew cornin’ into
complete our water system. I sure
hope they do a better job of cleanin’
up after their daily diggin’ than this
first crew did. Seems mat the whole
danged town looks like a hog pen.
It’s got to git better. Of course , these
showers ain’t helped with this kind
of work. They will have to clean up
and fix all their messes before the
project of done.
See ya n^xt week,
Marc

nesses for two days to teach them real work experi-

ous career subjects to reinforce the career units they

the community businesses taking part in this learn-
ing experience.
New Software Discovered
At Computer Conference
Several Cranfills Gap ISD teachers traveled to the
18th annual Ibxas Computer Education Association
State Conference in Austin. The school sent the group
in hopes of finding a new writing program for its stu-
dents. The group discovered the “perfect software”
for aiding in the development of student ideas, while
teaching them to write in narrative, descriptive, com-
pare and contrast, and persuasive styles. The teach-
ers received training in Kid-Pix software as well.
The conference showcased over 200 vendors from
around the state, demonstrating the latest in comput-
ers and software. A variety of workshops were also
offered. One session the group attended focused on
at-risk students and how technology helps hold their
interests. Another workshop was on using the Internet
to take students on trips to far-away places without
ever actually going anywhere, better known to the
computer world as virtual vacations.
The teachers also experienced other great places
such as the National Aeronautical and Space Admin-
istration, and the nation’s parks, and even the Louvre
in Paris.
Booster Club Helps Raise Funds
Fbr Playground Renovation
The Cranfills Gap playground will be undergoing a
major renovation in the near future. Finding for this
project came via the generosity of the Cranfills Gap
Booster Club, from a state grant, and from several stu-
dent fund-raising projects.
The playground project has been a goal of the com-
munity for many years, and is now possible thanks to
the efforts of many. If any community members are
interested in helping with the construction process of
the new playground, they can contact Superintendent
Henry Land or any Booster Club member.
