It sounds crazy to say but that was cutting edge technology in 1964. Having discovered its dresser drawer hiding place well in advance of Christmas, I would sneak in and give a listen when Mom wasn&#8217;t around. (So much so that the battery was dead when Santa left it as a gift on Christmas morning.)&#8221;&nbsp;<br>-Debbie Richards<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A gold, engraved heart locket on a gold chain from my Great-Aunt Madeline, for whom I was named.&nbsp; The French locket was sent to her on her 16th birthday by her older brother who was stationed in France at the time, during World War&nbsp;II.&#8221;<br>-Madeline Styron<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The most memorable gift I\u2019ve received was a letter from a student that I struggled with building a relationship with all last year. I cried when reading it, and it always brings tears to my eyes when I think about it.

Then, he organized Justin Payton to smoke the turkeys donated by a very special but anonymous person &amp; several volunteers including Bryan ISD Board members, employees and community members to deliver the Thanksgiving meals with sides and tea included.
