Rock Wall

Who knew that October could be so confusing? Well for one reason, newspaper-wise, it is a five week month – five Thursdays, Even though we’re out on Tuesday, the official publication date is Thursday. We were at Stockton Monday to check on the public forum about data centers. If you read it a couple of

Success! A friend of mine in Nevada saw our story in the Rock Wall about a tri-fold board full of pictures of a gentlemen named Dave McMasters. He said he had friends in Greenfield that had the same name. They are interested. So I’m taking the pictures to Nevada hoping that “D-Mac”, as one of

Late last week, someone brought me a tri-fold display board. Inside were pictures of a gentleman known as Dave McMasters. There were black and white pictures of his earlier life and lots of color pictures of his adult life. I didn’t recognize any of the people in the pictures and none of the scenery suggested

I met a woman in Nevada last week whose last name was Shreve. I know that might not mean anything to you but it does to me because I’m from Shreveport and sure enough her husband is related to Henry Miller Shreve. Henry is  the one who removed the log jam clogging the Red River

I’m sitting down for this chat with you because we printed something in an obituary that wasn’t true and I knew I had a way to check it. And to tell you where my sister’s middle name, Ellen, came from. In the June 25, 2026, issue, we published the obituary of Gary Wayne Henry, a

Picnic gone. Even the random truck that didn’t manage to escape with its truck friends on Sunday, didn’t give any indication of what it had been up to. There were so many food trucks. I couldn’t possibly get to everyone of those in three days. We’re starting our videos this week. We’ll begin alphabetically with
