Certified Smart
In the anteroom of the People’s Congress in Beijing, U.S. Ambassador to China Charles Whitfield nervously paces back and forth. In his early fifties, Whitfield has spent the better part of his adult years as ambassador to China. However, this is the defining moment, the culmination of his career.

Little Houses
Grant Martin didn’t come west from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1994 in a covered wagon as his Mennonite ancestors might have done, but he did bring Pennsylvania Dutch carpentry designs when he came to Grayson County.

Air Traffic Control
The Federal Aviation Administration expects to hire more than 12,000 new Air Traffic Controllers over the next decade and that means business for Grayson County’s North Texas Regional Airport.

Not the “Boonies”
I want to thank you for publishing Texoma Living!. I sell high-end real estate and have found the magazine to be one of the best marketing tools I have. So much of the time people coming here from the D/FW Metro think we live in the “boonies.” One look at Texoma Living! quickly dispels that idea.
Letters, We Get Letters
As a motorcycle enthusiast I enjoyed reading your article on “The Bikers Next Door.” The photography was super and it was fun seeing some friends in the magazine. Keep up the good work. This community needs Texoma Living!
