Coach, in my 70+ years of living in this great state I have observed that what your Dad said is true. The further south you go the truer it becomes. Does anyone remember the Duke of Duval County? If so, what for?

Tom:
Back in the 80s, I used to hunt on a ranch that adjoined his (actually his wife’s by then) outside of Freer.
We actually saw Mrs. George Parr once. She was a “looker”!!!
Coach

Curious what he had to say about Dallas county politics.
Are you talking about the Bill Decker / Henry Wade days or the Al Libscomb / John Wiley Price days???

Sorry about that. But I do know a little about the Markowskys of Cuero and it’s interesting. That knife has a story!

I bought this used 12-11 Confederate in rather poor condition in regards to edge chips and a bent tip. I restored it as best I could. I didn't realize that this one has a choil. I've only ever seen a pic of one other one like this. Can someone educate me?>
This beauty came my way. Purchased from the original owner that bought it from the shop in 1965. Low S, model #1-8" Some debate, but the handle is likely Rosewood.
