PECAN GAP NEWS

Billy, Nelda Campbell’s grandson, graduated from Rivercrest High School three weeks back. He overcame many obstacles with the help of his special mom and special pop. She is very grateful to her dear friends Billie and Bobby McCarrell for driving her to this special event! Lynn Taylor Hoskison attended the Fannindel Elementary Field Day recently. She said, “I had the biggest time watching all of the children playing and having such fun! Thank you Ricky Beeler and all who helped make it a wonderful day!” Lynn is an FHS Alumnus from the Class of 1978. She and I both worked together in the Fannindel Elementary School on the Summer Work Program, a couple of years when we were both in Secondary School. She and her husband Randy Hoskison have moved home from Palestine, Texas after retiring. They purchased the home directly behind our house and we’ve really enjoyed them being back in the Gap once again. As a child, she was raised in Ben Franklin, which is “still home” as far as I’m concerned. Morris and Wanda White attended the graduation of their granddaughter, Madison White, from Southlake Carroll High School last Friday evening. Also attending were aunt, Sarah Kesting, and cousin, Reagan Kesting, from Sulphur Springs. Madison will be attending Ouchata Baptist University in the fall. Sunday June 6th was Pastor Clyde Bostick’s last Sunday at the First United Methodist Church in Pecan Gap. He will begin his new ministry at Caddo Mills. Pastor Mark Bradley is the new FUMCPG Pastor. Congratulations to the Fannindel High School Graduates of 2021! Jacob Aubrey, Hugo Bugarin, Toby Childress, Branden Dillehay, Dayton Dunbar, Javin Estrada, Bryan Flanagan, Rebekah Fornoff, Paul Hester, Christopher Jordan, Alajiah Kelley, Stephan Olsen Jr., and Jawaylon Shaw. Congratulations to Jawaylon “WayWay” Shaw for giving his Salutatorian Address Friday night and then traveling to College Station to their Livestock Show to win the Reserve Champion Award, (2nd Place) after graduating! You will be missed at FHS Jawaylon, you’re a very special person. God has big things in store for you, I just know it!
