That nice rain that the Uvalde/Crystal area got a couple weeks ago is compliments of my husband Gene. He is the one that made it rain down there.
We were going over the Nueces Crossing on the way to the CCHS reunion Oct 8th and we looked down at a bone dry, drought stricken Nueces River and Gene made the comment that it would be a good time to get out our metal detectors and go down and look for his class ring that he had lost there years ago.
Later that night it started raining. And raining. You see, if he had not made the threat to go looking for his ring it never would have rained like that but since he did, there was a heck of a storm; complete with lightning and thunder like the area had not seen in quite some time!
A week later, we were back in the area and there was now a little water in the some the lowest spots of the river and we had our metal detectors, so we decided to head down there and spend a couple hours to see if we could find any treasures anyway.
We didn't find his class ring but we did find two people living under the bridge, and I found a damn fine pull tab that I dug 8 inches into the rocks and water to get!

Upcoming Anniversary
In just 9 days, it will be the first anniversary of the yahoo group, The Crystal City Bulletin.
I think on the whole it has been a success. We now have 86 members and even though some days conversations in the group are slow, that is just a reflection of how busy our lives are, but we are still a group and still staying in touch.
Recently some classmates found themselves in the path of hurricane Ike and though we didnt hear from them for a couple of days, they got word to us as soon as they could, that they were okay.
In the upcoming year we hope to locate many more classmates and former Crystal Citians and hopefully have them join the group. If you have been reading this and you are a Crystal Citian and have not joined we would love to have you in the group!
Don't forget there are three big events coming up in Crystal City:
October 4th CCHS Reunion
October 5th First Baptist Church 100th Anniversary/Last Service
First weekend in November - Spinach Festival
I have posted details on these events in an earlier August post, but will repost them again soon.

Crystal City Reunion and Baptist Church Closing
The months of October and November 2008 are going to be big months, wait, make that HUGE months, in Crystal City, TX.
On October 4th is CCHS Reunion headed up Mason Williams. Here is the information for the CCHS reunion:
Location: The Crystal Ballroom which is located about 1 mile southeast of Crystal City on State Hwy 16—the road to Brundage.
Ricardo’s Restaurant of Crystal City will provide a brisket plate with all the trimmings.
The doors will open at 2:00 p.m., and the meal will be served at 6:00 p.m. A DJ will provide music for dancing beginning at 7:30 p.m.
The visiting and dancing will go on until the last person tires out and goes home.
Everyone is invited—ex students, parents, friends, anyone who ever had an interest in the Crystal City School System.
Admission charge is $15 per person.
*****************
On October 5th is the 100th anniversary of the First Baptist Church in Crystal City.
It is also the church's last service due to declining membership.
It's official now I guess (that the church is closing), I have received my invitation. I am looking forward to seeing people I have not seen in years there but I am sad that it is because it is the end of the era of the First Baptist Church of Crystal City, TX.
******************
The second weekend of November is the annual Spinach Festival and though I have not yet received the entry form, our group, the Crystal City Bulletin, is planning to have a float entry in the parade. More information to follow on this.
For additional information on any of the events above, you can email me at the address below. Please note that you will need to put the appropriate symbols in the address where I have written them out. I did this to discourage junk emails.
