Someone who graduated from my high school in Pecos, Texas, before I even moved to that town died last week. It is a small town, so, of course, I did know who he was. His family owned the town jewelry store. I wanted to read his obituary so I googled his name and the strangest article came up from a newspaper in Arkansas for some reason. I think it reads like something I try to write in French and get some of the words right and some of them not the right words at all.
