Others were glad to be expecting their soldiers home Continue Reading…
Honoring our Brazos Valley Veterans
November 11, 2019 by“Thank you for your service.” Whenever I see someone in uniform, just as you do, we say “Thank you for your service” to them. The usual response is a quiet smile from the men and women in military service to our country. What we mean by that is more than five words of sentiment.

College Station ISD Offers Challenging and Exciting Programs for Students
August 31, 2019 byI don’t know about you, but I remember the days when you went to the grocery store with your parents, and you had a printed list of supplies to get, and you took your time walking up and down the aisles, looking at the scissors with the rounded ends, the right kind of #2 pencils and maybe you’d splurge on the eraser caps you put on the ends of pencils.

August 15, 2019 byRemember in childhood when adults asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up? It was usually toward the end of high school when we started thinking about career plans and which college would be best for that education. And career planning would be something that you “had” to do vs. thinking about what you would do, if you could do anything you dreamed of becoming. Things have Continue Reading…
Grandview Cemetery Is on Its Way Back in Bryan

But just as that happens, at some point, a civic-minded person decides to become involved, and things get moving again. Until recently, people driving down Hwy 6 who’d exit at Hwy 21 would drive right past an important part of Bryan municipal history and never know it. This photo was taken several years ago by Bryan’s Continue Reading…
