Edgar Thompson aka Richard Pressley

Aug 03, 2010 No Comments

What a surprise to see the story on bootlegger and escaped convict Thompson who lived in Grayson County as Richard Pressley. Your heritage stories (good and not so good parts of our past) keep me glued to the pages! Writer Willie Jacobs’ past as a newspaper police reporter of the old school shines through in these articles. I hope you will ask him to keep writing for you.

Over the past few weeks our family has tried every one of the recommendations from your BBQ Joints, Shacks & Stands article. All have something special to like and two were new to us altogether.

Probably no other part of your magazine is as enjoyable as the food articles. Those big, colorful pictures are every bit as good as what you will see in Gourmet or Bon Appetit magazines. One of the best parts of the article is seeing your guests having fun preparing the dishes. If you ever need [...]

Big Fat Winner

Jun 07, 2010 No Comments

Your story about Cliff Prescott’s luxury towel business was pure inspiration! I have been an inventor of sorts for years and seeing what Prescott has done has me motivated again. Many million dollar ideas never get off the ground because it takes an incredible amount of passion, patience, and stamina to succeed. Cliff proves that [...]

As a promoter of the Sherman Ex- Students Association Museum, I wanted to make sure two of our alumni got credit for the parts they played in the Sherman High School Band of 1940. In the article on William “Billy” Collins “Young Men with Horns,” the two men on opposite sides of Mr. Collins were [...]

Thanks to writer Light T. Cummins for his article on the part Grayson County’s own Lee Simmons had in the Bonnie and Clyde story. For anyone who might want to read more about Simmon’s role in the capture of the Barrow Gang, “Assignment Huntsville” is an account by Simmons of his days at the state [...]
