Love of Art in Hondo
knows no age limit
LOST AND FOUND... Claire Smith (Miller), valedictorian of the HHS
Class of 1947, attended school here her senior year and then moved
away and lost contact with her classmates. In preparing for the 50
year reunion to be held June 14, she was the only one of the 43 class
members unable to be located. Last week while visiting in San Anto-
nio, she decided to drive to Hondo to see if she could find any of her
classmates and to see if any plans were being made for the 50th
anniversary of their graduation. She stopped at Meyer School and
asked if anyone knew Alice Mumme (Wiemers) and in a short time
the two classmates were enjoying each other's company. Miller lives
in Lake Jackson where she was employed by Dow Chemical for 33
years until her retirement last year.
If you love art or just want a nice
drive for the day, get ready for a day
of fine art just a short drive away.
This Saturday in Hondo, 30 miles
west of San Antonio, painters of all
ages and from all over south Texas
are coming together for an exhibit
and sale of fine art.
Th Hondo Art League, along with
the Market Trail Associaiton, is
sponsoring an exhibit and sale from
9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Saturday, June
21, at the McDowell Middle School,
located at 26th and Q Street.
In 1975, a group of seven women
formed the league. They painted in
the local city pari: because it was free
and they had no money. Today there
are 30 members (with four of the
original members) and they meet in
an old World War II barracks that is
rented to them by the City of Hondo.
There is still a love of art that drive
these painters.
All ages and levels of painters are
represented at the Hondo Art
League. Some painters are repre-
sented by galleries and some are just
becoming acquainted with painting.
Exhibited will be watercolars, oils,
old-master and mixed-media paint-
ings for sale with all budgets in mind.
Several artists have devoted their
lives to creating beauty on canvas.
One in particular is LaRue Hedrick.
This 81 year young has received a
number of awards including best of
show in the 1995 Castroville Art
Show and second place in 1994.
When no painting, she can be found
taking ait lessons, line dancing in
Bandera or exercising every day.
For more information call the
Hondo Art League at 210-741 -2376.
1 hat a typical funeral home in a large county like Bexar County
serves a population base of over 30,000 each? A funeral home
in a medium-sized county (between 50,000 and 400,000
population) typically serves a population base of about 14,000,
while a funeral home in the small rural counties, like Medina
County, serves a population base of about 6,000 each. With
this uneven distribution of funeral homes in Texas, one would
expect funeral prices to be less in the large counties where each
funeral home has a large volume of services over which to
spread their operating cost. We have not found this to be true.
A family that we conducted a funeral for earlier this year, told us
that the Bexar County funeral homes where they compared
prices kept coming back to a high dollar casket to try and make
a “big sale”. Our policy is to let a family decide among
themselves what casket they want that will fit within the family’s
budget. This family came to us because our bottom line was
less and they like our reputation for outstanding service backed
by 94 years of experience.
they can pay for theii
to beware of the funeral home that tries to
buying a high dollar casket or extra items 60
they can pay for their big budget.
