Colliers take "Texas” to Virginia Scouts
Bob and Shirley Collier of Castrov-
ille and Hondo recently participated
in a Boy Scout Camporee held at
Pipisco Scout Reservation on the
James River in Virginia. They were
joined by Shirley's mother Bettie
Thomas of Vista, Calif., Carolyn
Sullivan of Corpus Christi; and the
Collier's youngest son, Curt, of Texas
Tech University.
The Collier's oldest son, Robert,
who is stationed at Norfolk with the
Navy and who has been involved in
Scouting for more than 11 years, was
responsible for the camporee which
involved over 550 Scouts, Webeloes
and their leaders.
Theme of the Camporee was "The
Wild, Wild West."
Shirley explained "we saw a boom
town built overnight as each Scout
Troop assembled facades of trading
posts, saloons, a dentist office, tele-
graph office and a hotel. The Webe-
loes formed a circle of miniature cov-
ered wagons. An Indian troop camped
in the woods as did the chuck wagon
cooks, black powder men and ferriers.
There were also groups from the
Marines' museum and Colonial Wil-
liamsburg.
The Collier's took "Texas" - circa
1800s - with a replica porch reminis-
cent of an early Texas settler's ranch
built by Bob. From the "porch" hung
wild animal skins donated by Steve
Lay of San Antonio, a wagon wheel,
cast iron pots and other relics of the
period donated by the Persyn's House
of Joy antiques of Castroville, cactus
from the South West Desert, a tumble
weed Curt brought from Lubbock,
skulls, a homemade quilt and frame

OLDTIME TEXAS... was portrayed for Virginia Boy Scouts recently
as Shirley and Robert Collier demonstrated weaving and other
early-Texan skills and crafts.
Carolyn brought from Corpus Christi
(along with rattlesnake meat donated
to the chuck wagon cooks).
Bob who was dressed in garb of the
period, sporting a beard grown for the
occasion and armed with a cap and
ball rifle, told stories of the Alamo,
Gonzales and San Jacinto.
The "Texans" demonstrated card-
ing, spinning and weaving of wool,
com grinding using a mano and
metate and com tortilla making. The
tortillas were made by the scouts and
enjoyed along with jellies made of
cactus, mesquite bean, agarita, wild
plum and loquat donated by Velma

W.A.V.E. OF THE FUTURE
As darkness and nighttime creep
upon me, a sudden sense of panic
engulfs me. Often I wonder if the
beautiful light of morning will find
me, or will I fight my way through the
darkness and hell that is eternity with-
out the light to guide me to my destina-
tion. (Nandy)
These wofds are from & letter writ-
ten by one of the members of
W.A.V.E. (Women Against Violent
Endings), a battered women's support
group for which Families in Crisis,
Killeen, provides facilitators twice a
month.
What makes this group special is
that it occurs in an unusual place.
W. A.V.E. is a group of women incar-
cerated by the Texas Department of
Corrections in the Mountain View
Unit at Gates ville, Texas. The women
are incarcerated because of retaliation
against family violence that ended in
their spouses' or mates' deaths or
bodily injury. Most are serving life
sentences for aggravated offenses.
FIC is the only shelter in Texas that
facilitates a group of this nature.
Education has become an impor-
tant issue for the W.A.VLE. members;
many were previously unaware that
shelters existed. They were horrified
to realize that there might have been
another way out from the violence
than the one which resulted in their
incarceration. As we share in groups
about the women in the shelter, the
W.A.V.E. women feel an almost
compulsive need to reach out, inform,
share, and educate the shelter women
that they must do something and do it
now.
