Family Assistance Update
May 1, 2008
5/01/08
BETTY MADDUX: Wife of J.W. Maddux is in the Garden Terrace Rehab Center recovering from the amputation of her right leg approximately 2 weeks ago. We visited with Betty this morning and she seems to be in good spirits considering the loss of her leg at the knee and a long period of rehab yet to go.. The loss of the leg was due to peripheral vascular disease (poor circulation) and the other bad news is that her left leg is also similarly effected to some degree. She also has some heart problems having had 3 stents prior to the amputation. Betty has been either hospitalized or in a rehab facility for some 7 months now but still maintains a good attitude.[More]

Challenge Coins
Conroe Reunion
3/26/08
 Challenge Coins
Challenge Coins are in and can be purchased at the Conroe Reunion for $10 each. The proceeds benefit the Surviving Spouses Luncheon. So, bring your cash and stock up.
History of Challenge Coins: Challenge Coins surfaced during the WWII era. The practice of carrying a coin designed specifically for a unit was popular with the Army Special Forces. Carrying the coin at all times and presenting it when "challenged" to prove affiliation with that unit resulted in a number of consequences for those who could not produce a coin - the most popular required the coin less soldier to buy a round of drinks. That practice continues to be popular today.
