The family of Jessie Bryan Wasson regrets to inform you of his death on July 14, 2011. We hope to continue his 3 blogs, Wasson's Looking Back, Bowie Texas Area Music, and Tales of the Abilene Police Department. He loved writing his stories and there are many he had not posted. The posts may not come as often, but we hope to honor his memory by posting them to his blog.

Please comment on this post if you have additional stories or tales of past events with him.

Thank you for your continued support of our family.

One Nation Under God

The above article was written by Faith Duffin, Secretary, first Baptist Church, Bowie Texas for Volume 5, Issue 7, July 2011 issue of First Focus, the news letter of First Baptist Church, Bowie, Texas. I think it is worth publishing here. My deepest concern is the fact that our nation has turned away from God. My prayer is that our nation will repent and turn back to God.

A Tribute To A Veteran

This  post has absolutely nothing to do with music, but much to do with Bowie, Texas. I have lost a great friend and Bowie has lost a hero.

A tribute to a friend: Cecil Adkins was a WWII U.S. Navy Veteran and later served in the U.S. Army National Guard where he was called to active duty during the Berlin and Cuban Missal Crisis.  He is the founder of the VFW Post in Bowie, Texas. At age 60 he was transferred to the Army of the United States Retired List. Cecil loved the outdoors. Therefore a green grassy field was chosen as a background for this tribute. Many years ago when he had completed placing white crosses on the graves of military veterans, Cecil gave me the white cross that I have placed in the center of this field. Cecil served as District Clerk and as Justice of the Peace in Montague County. Cecil and I were in the Jim Bowie Riding Club and rode in many parades together. Cecil was a good friend and I will miss him.
