LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Here’s a little side note on the Wimberley Ace Hardware anniversary story. Back when the North Hays County EMS was first formed we had no place to keep our single ambulance. John and Gay Kingrey , both EMT’s in the newly formed service, graciously allowed us to use a section of the Discount parking lot for park ing the ambulance (and first responder vehicles during EMS runs). The Discount was the central rallying point for the ambulance crew until we eventually moved into the old fire station on Emergency Lane. 05/19/2022 12:00 AM

My first thought when I was asked to put on my display this year (I have done it many times in past years) was, “Oh no, with the drought I don’t have many native plants blooming.” 05/19/2022 12:00 AM
