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!

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 [...]

Texoma Living! Magazine does more for the local arts community than just about anyone. It was with great anticipation that I opened the March-April Art Issue and discovered the five new artists selected for the main story. It was also interesting to read the updates on last year’s winners and to know that they are [...]

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 [...]
