Softly Call the Muster — Aggie Traditions Runs Deep
April 24, 2018 byAlthough not the first meeting, by 1922, those who love Texas Aggies began gathering each April 21 to remember fellow Aggies who’d died in the preceding year. Names are read aloud; the answer: “Here.” Gone, but never forgotten. That’s one of our prized traditions. This past weekend at Reed Arena, the Brazos County A&M Club honored our local residents among the total 1612 Aggies who passed away this past year. Continue Reading…
As School Semester Draws to an End, Spring is in the Air
April 10, 2018 byWe’ve had an amazing start to 2018 in the Brazos Valley. Progress is around us everywhere you look. The long-term construction project to improve Bryan’s College Avenue is giving all of us a welcome facelift. Bryan is about to celebrate the newly restored Queen Theatre downtown and everywhere we look our neighbors are sprucing up their homes for Spring. Recently, the Texas Aggie student body likely beat last year’s record Continue Reading…
Bright Future Ahead: Inquiring Young Minds Ask Great Questions
March 12, 2018 byIs it hard to deal with death every day? What do you find rewarding about your profession? How much do funerals cost? Do you bring your own clothes? These and about 30 more questions were offered by close to 450 of Montgomery High School’s students last week in their Health Science Symposium.

Sharing Our Bryan College Station Success Story with NFDA in Florida
February 26, 2018 byLast week, I was invited to St. Petersburg, Florida, to present “A Funeral Home Facelift for Today’s Family,” at the 2018 National Funeral Directors Association Cremation Conference.

Thoughts of Martin Luther King Today
January 15, 2018 byAs a nation, we celebrate Martin Luther King Day on the third Monday in January, just as we celebrate the birth of George Washington every third Monday in February. Celebrating on a predictable annual Monday of a month allows civil service workers to have a true three-day holiday, but this year, our holiday coincides with Dr. King’s actual birthday. Recently I read the full transcript of Dr. King’s “I Have Continue Reading…
Reflections On This Very Special Year
December 18, 2017 byYou have officially one week before Christmas is in officially your memories category, stored in the “windmills of your mind,” the way one of my grandfather’s favorite old songs went. Almost as quickly as it comes every year, I am amazed at how quickly the evidence of Christmas gets stuffed back into boxes, swept up, and stored again until next year. When I was a child, Christmas seemed to last Continue Reading…
How to Get That Christmas Spirit, Even If You’re Not Ready
December 4, 2017 byI know. We’re barely past Thanksgiving and all of a sudden, we’re supposed to forget that and now prepare for Christmas. There’s an entire checklist ready to follow. Holiday cleaning, decorations, tree up, lights up, photos taken for holiday cards, stamps bought, and the list of what to purchase for whom. Check. TV commercials pelt you hourly with sales. Ready to run away from it all? You wouldn’t be alone. Continue Reading…
Real Thanksgiving, Real Gratitude
November 21, 2017 byThe other day, Chelsea and I were talking about Thanksgiving and our favorite dishes. Then we started thinking about the real meaning of the holiday and were humbled. We live in a country where we have freedom. We can choose whatever we want to prepare or eat out. We’ve blended some family traditions to make holidays special. We’re fortunate to still have family with us to hold close in our Continue Reading…
Connectivity and Trick or Treat
October 30, 2017 byRecently on Facebook, I received a notification “Your Instagram account callawayjonesfuneralcenter is now connected to Callaway-Jones Funeral and Cremation Centers.” That started me thinking about connectivity. We link our social media accounts; if we share a picture on Facebook, then it automatically posts on Instagram, maybe even Twitter. And that makes us happy we’ll reach everyone. Aren’t the links of connectivity strongest when we get together in person? As much Continue Reading…
