Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Karen Cline Baum


I was married to John September 28, 1963. John was in the Air Force and when he got out he went to graduate school in Arizona and then we located in Arlington, Texas and he was employed at LTV. This was for about 5 years and then he got a Masters in Finance and went to work for Price Waterhouse Coopers and has since retired from there. We've been in Arlington since 1967 and we love it very much.
Our kids live close within an hour's drive. We are very active in Church and in bible study.
Through a friend's son being in prison I began writing to him and it led to others wanting to write and to share Jesus. This has been for 3 years and it is very much of a blessing in my life. I have about 12 sons that I write to.
The ministry of sharing God's word fills my time and I am richly blessed walking with our Lord Jesus. That is my life in a nutshell.
Up date. My husband john died Aug. 9, 2018. Happily married for 54 years. I miss him terribly.

In September 1954, The American Statesman started a column called "Tri-High Scoop". A student from each high school wrote about the happenings at their school and then it was published in the Sunday paper. Each school had a "catchy" name, Austin was Maroon Musings, McCallum was 'Callum Clues and Travis was Travis Drawl. Enjoy reading about the days when you were at Travis.

Tri-High-School-4
Travis Drawl
By Carol Cotman
April 20, 1958

"Sing, Rebels, Sing!" is the exclamation at Travis High. Last Thursday the Travis A Cappella Choir went to San Marcos for the Interscholastic League Choir Contest. The group entered sight reading as well as the concert contest. Entering vocal solos and ensembles were Mary Jane Burt, Tommie Craig, Freda Crawford, Sharon Dillard, Patsy Drury, and Kenneth Southwell.

Also entering the Interscholastic League Contest at Waco were Rebel debaters Fred Blum and Charles Perrone. The Thespians of the Scarlet Masque received second place in district. Placed in the All-Star Cast was Fred Blum. On the same day, sophomore Joanne Mallet captured second place in the district Ready Writers Contest.

Everly Driscoll and Carol Cotman traveled to San Antonio yesterday with Mrs. Terrell Blodget, new publications sponsor at Travis, to attend the IL Press Competition at Trinity University.

The William B. Travis P-TA, backbone of Rebelland, recently asked Mrs. Horace French to be president for the coming school year. Helping Mrs. French will be Mrs. Claude Bush, vice-president; Mrs. Robert Dillard, recording secretary; Mrs. Joe Bourke, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Roy Stewart, treasurer; Mrs. B. V. Howell, historian; and Mrs. G. E. Bray, parliamentarian. These officers and Mrs. Ivan Stout, immediate past president, and W. A. Sloan attended the District Conference in Fredericksburg last week.

Another adult in the news at Dixieland is Joe Tyson, science teacher at Travis. Mr. Tyson has been selected to be an instructor at Duke University Institute of Radiation Biology at Beaufort, NC this summer.

The Travis Rebelettes have had a full schedule this week. April 12, the girls were guides at the flower show at the City Coliseum, and Tuesday, they were honored by Bohn Brothers at a Coke party and style show with some of the Rebelettes modeling late fashions.
