The Medallion had the most plush seats and a beautiful dark blue curtain that rose to reveal the screen when it was time for the movie to start.

Contact David Rejebian Oriental Rugs in Snider Plaza. His grandfather opened the oriental rug department in the store in the early 30's. He may have some good info, photos and stories.

Hi Bobby,
Thank you for those nice words about my Dad. He died in '99 and I think of him often. As a matter of fact, my mother, Ginny Hiland was at the Thompson's cabin in Colorado when she died of a massive stroke in '88.
Buddy Thompson was a great friend to us and we bought our first of many horses from him. Actually the first one we bought had belonged to Sandy. You must be around the

Dr. Al Vassallo delivered me at St. Paul in 1960. Mother was always so grateful that he refused to give her Thalidomide for morning sickness.
We all know what that medicine did to the babies. Our family doctor and friend L. S. "Buddy" Thompson Jr. and his father also officed at the old Medical Arts. When I had mono in the mid seventies we had to make a trip down every week for bloo

Yes, I remember Glen Lakes stables very well. I boarded my horse there in late 60's to close in about '71. We used to ride down to the NW corner of Meadow and Greenville, tie our horses to the fence and run accross Greenville to Red Coleman's. We could ride all the way back to
Royal Oaks Country Club. It was located on the north side of Meadow and east of Rambler. The barn was a ways back

I think the original home was remodeled and the columns installed in the 1930's.

Thanks Joel. I have some questions about Caruth's plantation. Is there a thread or should I start a new one? I have been off of the message board for a few years.

I am not old enough to remember the winter of '48 but do remember Dad talking about his own father's furneral in the first few days of January of '48 and how very, very cold it was. From the news records it looks like it was around 7 degrees at that time. He is buried at Hillcrest Cemetary.

Wonderful narrative, Curtis! Thank you for taking the time to go over there. Will they let us look inside the house?
As a child, in the early sixties, I seem to remember a white building behind the house. This could be seen from Boedecker. I thought my mother told me that it was a detached kitchen. Does that make any sense? Maybe it was the log cabin you mentioned.
P. S.
I received a

Colorado Place Apartments were built, I believe, by Leo Corrigan Sr., after WWII. As was Preston Village at Northwest Highway and Thackery. Both complexes were very similar in architecture. Red brick with floor funaces and window units. Colorado Place had fallen into disrepair and was pretty bad until the ICI, Inc branch of the family took it over and spruced it up in the mid eighties.

Mr. Flatt,
Very interesting about finding the misplaced gravestones. Are you related to Horace Flatt out here in Kaufman County? He is our cemetary buff.
Would you like for me to scan the page in Barrot Sanders book that I am referring to or do you have the book?
I am so glad that they are rehabilitating the Caruth Plantation Home for office space use. Can we go inside to have a peek duri

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your reply...
When do you think they widened NW Hwy? Mrs. Caruth's letter is dated 1959 and said the graveyard was located where there are two red houses
now('59). Did they build the NW Prkwy later than 59? Wasn't the small chapel you mentioned on the Northway Christian Church property? This is why I am thinking that the location she mentions would have to be west of t

In my copy of the book Dallas Her Golden Years by Barrot Sanders, there is a letter by Mrs. Earle Clark Caruth to her children Will Caruth, Jr. and
Mattie Caruth Byrd. On page 109 of this book there is a paragraph describing "a burial ground for the Negoes on the plantation. It was on the South side of Northwest Highway where two red brick houses stand today." This letter was found
