Ruth V. Fierros, retired Laredo teacher and poet, was honored with the Members in Print Award of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society at their recent state reunion in Waco. Her volume, Welcome to My World, was nominated by the Alpha Nu Chapter of Laredo.
The Members in Print were honored during opening night ceremonies in the Brazos Room of the Waco Convention Center. The publishers met their fellow members from all over the state later in the weekend.

Lowry family
holds reunion
The descendants of Dr. Ruby Lowry held a family reunion recently at Middle Creek Ranch. About 30 attended. Attending were Mary Lowry Ervin, San Antonio; Ira Lowry, Palisades, California; Todd Lowry, Lexington, Virginia; Willis E. (Bill) Lowry, New Braunfels; Dr. Tim Lowry, Austin; and their wives and some of their children and grandchildren.
Ollie Lowry writes: "There is usually a musical program and review for the grandchildren who enjoy playing their musical instruments."
Visit to the library
The Meadows, where I live, has a nice little library where one may find magazines, the Wall Street Journal, and books, some in large print. I read most of the time I am not sleeping.
This week I am reading A Paradise Called Texas by Janice Jordan Shefelman, descendant of immigrants who came from Germany to Indianola and then cross-country to New Braunfels and Fredericksburg in 1848. Another is Julie and Romeo, about a love affair between two 60-year-olds, in spite of family objections, light, amusing, and sexy; and A Very Human President, (about Lyndon Johnson) by Jack Valenti, prompts one to read all night.
