Sheriff’s Department I'm REALLY excited about this one. That poor old broken down cowboy i look after (he has early onset dementia, peripheral neuropathy-can’t feel hands/feet, high
blood pressure, liver's gone) sits out in the country watching old westerns on VCR-no TV, and following his neighbors horses and cows around. He's not interested in much but will love
this. I've been trying to get him to Waco for five years-so we will definitely be there-hopefully early-he's 'bout blind and mostly deaf, too-so I wanna set him close. Thank you so much
for all you do-KK (Karen Karli Webb) I was so impressed with the February speaker's presentation about the Texas Rangers. He made the contents so interesting and spoke as a professional
speaker! Fran Schultz
