Lake Texoma Getaways
Lake Texoma isn’t like many other resort areas—on the lake when it gets cold, people still hit the water—only skiing and sailing are replaced by fishing. Some of the best striper catches are in the coldest parts of the winter and guides do a big business with locals and out-of-towners alike.
The Texoma Living! research team limbered up its fingers and took to both keyboard for Internet searches, and dialing up possible getaways.
We may have left out one of your very own favorite getaways. Some of our calls were not returned and not every place we contacted had an informative web site.
If we missed your favorite getaway send us an email and we’ll post it.

By Dan Acree

Queen with a Curl
The ice cream was too cold, and that got J. F. McCullough to thinking. Mc-Cullough and his son Alex had started the Homemade Ice Cream Company in Davenport, Iowa, in 1927, and they had done pretty well, eventually moving to a former cheese factory in Green River, Illinois, and converting it to make ice cream mix.

Hiding in Plain Sight
The knock on the door of Richard Pressley’s house in Sherman on January 4, 1960, was one he never expected. Standing on the porch was Grayson County Sheriff Woody Blanton, and he was there to end the fifteen years of freedom enjoyed by Pressley following his escape from prison in 1945.
