Finally, without the least intention of assigning relative values,
it should be entered for the record that Edward Clark's Christmas
greeting this year was a reproduction of a 1691 map of El Camino

R. Henderson Shuffler, director of the Texana Program of
the Humanities Research Center of the University of Texas,
honored Christmas this year by collecting many anecdotes and

History was a part of her daily life. Her heroic father was her hero.
