Editors Examiner:
On my last birthday, just imagine
my surprise to receive that old famil-
iar friend, The McKinney Examiner,
sent to me by my sister, Mrs. M. J.
Carter. It was such a sweet remem-
brance from her. Nothing could have
pleased me more than to read about
all the old friends. No matter where
I’ve lived since I left old Collin Coun-
ty, no other place is so dear as our
childhood home. I am most fortu-
nate to have my children live in Mem-
phis with us. Collin county is pretty
dear to my wife, too, as she was al-
ways interested in the civic welfare
of her community. My son, George
Raymond Hand, is in the Air Force in
cajnp in Walla Walla, Washington.
My son-in-law, Capt. R. H. (Bobby)
Jewell, who used to: fly in your town
quite a while ago, is now flying for
American Air Lines between Mem-
phis and New York, making his home
here. He and Margaret are raising
something else besides planes—a.
little daughter, Anita Bob, who is now
four years old.
Captain Jewell was very much
pleased to know that you have a plane
of your own named Collin County.
My other daughter, Elizabeth Pro-
Bill, also make their
