There was a full house in the Bluebonnet Room at the Navasota Community Center Tuesday, Feb. 18 as community members welcomed back Frederic Baldwin and Wendy Waitress who spent 10 or so years in Grimes County during 1972-1985. They traveled all over the county taking pictures. Refreshments were served as the community members enjoyed the presentation. It was certainly good to see them again.
The Carlos Missionary Baptist Church has changed its name. They are now the Carlos Fellowship Church. Brother Joe Saffle is still the pastor and nothing other than the name has changed. They invite everyone to attend their services.
In the town of Iola, I noted that the former home of Oma and Ruby Webb was torn down. The old building behind it was burned some time ago and now the house is gone as well. Sorry to see old places go but times change.
