Greetings, Fayette County. What a pleasure it has been to serve the last three years as your Justice of the Peace (JP), Pct. 2.

In a short period of time, November 11, the date set aside as Veterans Day will once again be heralded in Fayette County and across the nation. Since the year 2025 is also the 80th anniversary marking the end of World War II, it seems appropriate to mention a few coinciding events regarding Army Air crews on training missions that occurred in our area between December 1941 and September 1945. Some events ended well; some had a far worse ending. On December 25, 1941, just days after the horrific bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese on December 7th, the La Grange Journal ran a short article about a tragic event in the Muldoon area. It stated that: “Flying Cadet E. R. Patello was instantly killed when his plane in which he was making a solo training flight crashed near Lena Switch, a few miles from Muldoon, Thursday night. (December 18, 1941) … Patello was supposed to have flown from Brooks Field in San Antonio, to Temple, Yoakum, and thence to have returned to San Antonio.” A local landowner reported hearing a plane flying overhead at 10 p.m. and a few minutes later a crash. A heavy fog in the area was considered as the cause of the crash. The pilot’s body was found in a ravine that emptied into Buckner’s Creek.

The Fayette County Community Theatre (FCCT) will present Calendar Girls November 7, 8 and 9 at the Sanford Schmidt Amphitheater on the grounds of the Texas Czech Heritage and Cultural Center in La Grange, Texas.

When Annie’s husband John dies of leukemia, she and best friend Chris decide to raise money for a new couch in the local hospital waiting room. The play shows the two friends persuading four friends to pose nude with them for a calendar.
