Houston City Club Book Club Presentation

It was such a thrill to present on my book, Cinderella's Daughter and the Secret of Big Bend on Tuesday, February 26th at the Houston City Club. The book club members and their guests enjoyed a wonderful lunch while viewing my Powerpoint presentation. I read some of my favorite stories to them from the book and I think they were really touched by them.

Annual Conference - Center for Big Bend Studies, Sul Ross State University

November 9-10, 2012 -

Greg and Jennifer traveled with me to Alpine, Texas to present at the 19th Annual Conference of the Center for Big Bend Studies. We had a great time and I made several contacts that may lead to more information about my ancestors' life in the Big Bend.
