The year was 1932. Competition in the mining industry rendered residents in parts of West Virginia unemployed, destitute and without hope. The country was in the midst of its worst depression, and for some people there was no way out. In 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office.

Texas. I've been there a few times. The state is very much a part of me. My father was born there. Often, during my growing-up years, we'd take family vacations there. Years later, somewhere around the mid-1970s, my husband, Gary, who was a plant manager with the Nabisco Corp., accepted a transfer to Denison, Texas, where he manufactured Fleischmann and Blue Bonnet margarine.

Do you ever feel like hanging a sign on your door that reads "Gone Fishin'"? You can do just that here in our community. The Spruce Creek Anglers are a group of mostly men (women are welcome) who love spending time outdoors, trading "fishing truths" and discovering the natural beauty of Florida's waterways.

If you were to ask a New York City taxi driver how to get to Carnegie Hall, you most likely would get the reply: "Practice, practice, practice." Raymond George Turner, of Summerfield, has been practicing music most of his life.

The Craft Room at the Horizon Center exploded with color. Bright visors sported multicolored names, stars and flowers. The air tinkled with the sound of wind chimes as tiny hands attached clay butterfly figures to their own creations.

We were the first hatters in Stonecrest. We were known as the Happy Cresters and were 20 strong. Sadly, over the years we've lost members. Two have died, and a few have moved away. Also, some members of our group are very involved in church or volunteer work, and conflicts happen, resulting in more attrition.
