Matching the Eyes

With Christmas and New Years celebrated, Springtime of 1978 had begun for Frank, Scotty, and I in Hubbard, Texas. All of the trees were putting on new leaves, the bushes were needing trimming, and the grass needed mowing. Since it was a beautiful Spring day, Frank, Scotty, and I all went outside to spend the day. Frank and I loved to work in our yard, and for the first time, it was actually our yard. Scotty was busy playing on his swing set in the back yard or riding his hot wheel on the sidewalk in the front yard. Frank decided to mow the grass first while I worked on cleaning out the...

In March of 1978, it was time for Frank to renew his contract at Hubbard ISD. A new Head Coach came to Hubbard the previous year, and he adored Frank. The Head Coach had decided to take a coaching job in Bremond, Texas for the 1978- 79 school year, and he wanted Frank to go with him as the Defensive Line Coach. Leaving Hubbard, Texas and moving to Bremond, Texas, was a big decision for Frank to make. Frank and I talked about for several days. We had lots to consider, especially after buying a home. Frank decided to put in for the Head Coach at Hubbard, but with only three years of...

Hubbard schools had turned out for the Summer. Frank, Scotty, and I took a trip to Bremond to find a house to rent. We lucked out and found a home only a few blocks from downtown, and then we went back to Hubbard to begin the moving. Frank, Scotty, and I were excited to move to Bremond, which was mostly a Polish community. This community was known for its amazing Polish sausage. Since the towns of Hubbard and Bremond were only sixty miles apart, Frank and I did not rent a U-Haul truck for our move. We had a pickup truck and the Super Beetle that were loaded up and unloaded as we made...

Life was good in Bremond, Texas, and the months were moving by quickly. Our neighbors were leaving produce on our front porch nearly every week. They had indeed opened their hearts to us and treated us like family. Frank became good friends with the Ag teacher at the high school. Ag was a big part of Frank’s high school days. He loved the structure that Ag taught the students that were involved in it. Also, Frank was the president of the FFA when he was a senior. The Ag teacher approached Frank one day at school and asked him if he would like to buy some of the chickens that the Ag...

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...
