It's all Trew: Go see your old people, write it down

While attending a funeral at the McLean Hillcrest Cemetery recently I noticed the Trew plot needed some attention. A trip to Clarendon provided sacks of gray gravel and cement for repair. The old plot is filled now with grandparents, parents, uncle and a cousin. A second plot has been purchased awaiting the next generation. The hour spent working at the site was flooded with memories of the past and about the different people who had influenced my life in so many ways. Once again, I wished I had spent more time with my various ancestors listening to their stories about my roots and traditions. I urge each of you, don't wait. Go see your old people and write it down...Amarillo Globe News
