When we moved to Angelina County in 1985 both of the kids were astounded that the Parsonage had AC & Central heat. One of the preppies at School made a comment about being folks that were poor & Daughter said "Until we got to Lufkin, we were so pooo we couldnot even pay attention.
Preppie said kinda snooty, It is not pooo it is poor.
Sis said, We were so pooo we couldn't afford the last "R" either."
I spewed my Coke all over the screen! That was FUNNY!!!
