Jud,
Texas ForumDear
TE, Just a note to say that I grew up a few miles north of Jud, almost due west
and ten miles from O'Brien and east of Kiowa Peak on the Salt Fork of the Brazos.
My father worked for an oil company and I attended Knox City schools. I write
fiction and have had published many stories, using Jud as a partially fictional
town, peopled with colorful characters. These stories are published in small,
mostly university literary magazines but I hope one day to put together in a collection.
Thank you two for the work that you are doing. I think it's wonderful
and you should be applauded. I was both surprised and happy to find Jud and other
local communities (many which were much larger and more 'alive' in the late 50s
when I graduated from HS and moved on). Thank you and best wishes - Jim Finley,
Friendswood, Texas, August 15, 2006
