Small Town Journalism

To The Editor:

While my wife and I have our “legal” address in Cypress, we’ve had a property out east of Fayetteville (Rek Hill area) for the last 11 years now where we would escape to “de-stress” (mostly me) by riding around on the tractor, clearing dead trees, mowing and letting the dogs bark at the cows I let my neighbor run. I’ve spent the past four years building our “country place” where we try to get to as often as possible now.

Having grown up in a small town out in the Panhandle (Levelland), I really enjoy getting the digital version of the Fayette County Record and reading all the personal stories and perspectives from the writers. These are welcome diversions from all the doom-and-gloom nonsense put out by the Chronicle. (Which I only read for the sports coverage of my beloved Houston Cougars as well as the comics.)

The Record takes me back to the time I spent as a paper-boy for the Levelland paper so many years ago. Keep it up and never lose that personal touch to the news.
