Soothsayer

By Dan Acree

It is in a modest white house just off Texoma Parkway with a big wooden sign in the front; it reads PSYCHIC in bold red letters. Georgia wanted to go there one day, so I took her. Curious, I followed Georgia into the house. There were no voodoo dolls or neon lights, no crystal balls, no eerie music or half-burnt candles, just an unassuming waiting room with a big screen TV and a leather couch. The only hints of being in the residence of a medium were the pictures of tarot cards lined up on one of the plywood walls.

Farewell Norman

By Dan Acree

Julie Ellis Starr and Dr. Rebecca Bryant hosted a reception for Norman Bennett at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Sherman. Bennett, long a Sherman teacher and one of the stalwarts of the Sherman Community Players, is moving to West Texas to be closer to family. Starr, Bryant, and members of the Sherman High School Classes of 1966 and several others were on hand to say good-bye to their long-time friend and mentor.
