About the Author
As Dr. V. M. Holland wrote once, "In growing up in a rural East Texas community in the 1920’s, early in life you realize the importance of neighbors and family. There is a dependency for assistance, physical and otherwise, and a dependency for fellowship as our contact with the outside world was pretty limited.Before I was six, I had probably been out of the immediate community less than ten times. I thought it would be of some interest to write about all the people who lived in the community of Fairplay, Texas between 1920 and 1930 in so far as I can remember and determine with a little research. I am sure this will be of more interest to me than anyone else."

ReplyDeleteWow.
I've just found your blog. So Dr. Holland was your Dad? I had the privilege of meeting him one afternoon while we were fixing fence across the road from each other. It was probably one of the most enjoyable conversations of my life.
I took the liberty of cross-posting his Neighbors article on the History of Henderson and Rusk County Page. I had a copy from several years back but is was so nice to have the original". I will make sure you are adequately credited...
