During the latest Camp County Commissioners Court, the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce requested for use of the parking lot at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr Ave and College St for a car show during Pioneer Days. Connie Bradshaw with the Chamber said the closure of the lot would start on Sept 20 at 4 p.m. The commissioners approved this request.
Seven years ago, Roger asked a mail order fruit tree company if there were other fruit trees he could grow in Northeast Texas, zone 7b/8a. We already had the requisite pear, plum, apple, and others, but we still had room in our orchard. The Florida- based company suggested pawpaw. Roger was game, so he ordered three seedlings; our adventure with pawpaw began.
Rumor has it that Sue married Roger for his Craftsman toolbox. That rumor, like most, contains a smidgeon of truth. His wise mother, single-parenting two sons, introduced them to good, strong men who taught both boys how to use, maintain, and purchase tools. One son heard the lessons and went back to the bowling alley, bridge, and math problems. The younger son listened, learned, and applied. He slowly built up his toolbox. Most tools back then had “Craftsman” stamped prominently in red; that was a sign of quality. Today, the “Craftsman” name means something different, so his newer tools come from Ryobi.
