Fun Revisited
Body
My first Musings appeared in the Madisonville Meteor’s June 24, 2015, edition. Before that, Lynda Breeding was Madison County Museum’s curator and had written regular essays entitled Musings, but she quit and moved to Goliad. Jane Reynolds was hired as our curator, and Vivienne Chambless and I helped as volunteers. Jane felt she lacked the necessary computer skills for the Musings columns, so I agreed to do them, at that time every other week. I doubt many folks read my first few, but if they did, they may well be as forgetful as me.
