Once the Football season began, it was time for Scotty and me to watch Frank coach in a new town. We were so proud to be the wife and son of this amazing husband/father, Coach. The fans, players, teachers, and students loved Frank. It seemed that all of the people in Bremond, Texas, had taken us under their wings and embraced us as part of their loving community, and we were so thankful. The next story is one of my favorite stories from when we lived in Bremond. Since Frank and I were very trusted by the people in this beautiful town, and they knew that we would always do...

Another Change

Frank, Scotty, and I loved the people of Bremond, but Frank had begun to worry about something, and it would change our lives and put us in a more permanent place. Contract renewal time was quickly coming up at Bremond schools in the Spring of 1981. Frank asked me to have a sit-down discussion about renewing his contract. Frank was concerned that Scotty would be starting to Kindergarten in the Fall of 1981, and he wanted to make sure that Scotty would go through school from Kindergarten until Graduation in one town. Frank had gone to only one school, Van Vleck, until he graduated and knew...

Just A Diggin

Once we arrived in Van Vleck, Texas, there was work to be done. Our trailer house would not get delivered for a few weeks, but that gave us time to get everything set up for its arrival. Frank and his Dad were working shift work and digging the septic lines in the evenings. Frank’s Mom was working as an accountant, and Frank’s little sister, Cindy, was attending a Daycare preschool in Bay City, Texas, where her Mom worked. Scotty and I were holding down the fort, cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, and being there on the lookout for when Jackson Electric and the Well Company...

The Painter’s Helper

In the Fall of 1981, Frank, Scotty, and I moved into our home in Sweeny, Texas. Although we did not know it at the time, it would be our final home together. The house has over 1500 sq.ft., sits on a pier and beam foundation, and the detached three-car garage with a shop and washroom is an additional 1500 sqft., but sits on a concrete slab. The house and garage sit on two & half large city lots, which is cornered on two sides by Avenue A and Orange Street. In the Summer of 1982, Frank and I decided that the house and garage needed repainting. I had never painted the outside of...

25th, Deep Love, & Batteries

Once our son graduated from Junior High then went into High School, his name changed from Scotty to Scott. Our little boy had now become a young man, and it was as if the name change signaled his coming of age. Frank and I were busy following Scott around watching his activities and the sports he played. Although there was little time for much else, we found a way to be involved in the community and church. Frank ran for a position on the SISD School Board. We made homemade plywood signs, painted them with Frank’s name and the school board position he was running for, then staked them...
