AN AID TO TRAVELERS

A sign erected in the Hiram community on Harry C. Smith’s land directs those persons traveling IH 20 to take the FM 47 exit to go to Wills Point and Lake Tawakoni. FM 47 is the best totally paved route to Wills Point from IH 20. The highway department has designated the Hiram-Wills Point road a Farm-to-Market road. When it is paved it will be the shortest distance on all-weather road from IH 20 to Wills Point. The sign, a project of the Wills Point Chamber of Commerce is 10 feet long and 11 feet high, K. C. Lybrand, Jr., chamber of commerce manager, reports.

Tiger of the Week!

Debbie (Murrey) Miracle

Our Tiger of the Week is Deborah Miracle. Some remember her as Debbie Murrey, Class of '69.
    After graduation Deborah enrolled in North Texas State University where she went to school two and one half years. Then in 1972 she married her high school sweetheart, Bruce Miracle (Class of '66). After marriage, they both attended the University of Texas at Austin where she received her degree.
    They lived in Dallas for a while but eventually moved to Houston where both of her children were born. In 1980, she welcomed daughter Elizabeth and in 1984, son David was born. Not long after that, she and her family moved back to Wills Point where she and Bruce now live. Elizabeth graduated from Texas Tech and received her Masters degree from TWU. She married Mark McBride in July and they live in Colorado. David is a junior at Texas Tech. Deborah helps her brother with the family business, Murrey Motor Company and hubby Bruce has a CPA firm in Terrell.
    When asked about retirement she says "there are no plans" and no thoughts of 'where' that might be or ... 'maybe the mountains?'.
     She loves gardening and antiquing, with a quilting class in store for after the holidays. She also shared her recent love of snow skiing with us but said that she hasn't been able to spend as much time doing that as she would like too.
    Her proudest moment since she left high school "would have to be anything that has to do with my children, there's been many proud moments there". Her biggest regret Deborah says, "not being the Christian person that I think I should have been at times".  
    Deborah Murrey Miracle's life in five words or less - blessed, fulfilling, busy.

Debbie Murrey's High School Memories:
1) How do you remember WPHS?
Great fun! Enjoyed it thoroughly!
2) What was a fun Saturday night for you back then?
Being with friends. Cruising.
3) What is a fun Saturday night for you now? Eating out.
4) Funniest thing you remember about high school?
One Halloween we were having a balloon fight in town, like we all did back then, Ted Deen Jr. took a corner and the wheel came off his car!
