Monty Fuller Celebrates 65th Birthday

William Montgomery "Monty" Fuller of Barnard, celebrated his 65th birthday on Saturday, November 16th.  He was born in 1948 to Richard and Mary Vauthan (Montgomery) Fuller in Dallas, TX.  He grew up in Highland Park, TX.  He graduated with a degree in Business Admistration from St. Edward's in Austin.

Monty became familiar with Barnard through his affiliation with the Wallace family.  He relocated to Barnard full time because of the quiet community with potential.  He has happily made it his home.

A birthday party has been planned for him and further details will be made available as they are confirmed.  He would love for all of his friends to attend.  The party will be at the Beloit Dairy Queen on Wednesday...time will be announced shortly.

UPDATE
The party will be on the weekend with more details to follow.

The Annual Barnard Community Halloween

Halloween brought out many Barnard residents and friends once again.  Lenora Howe made chili and chicken and noodles for the gathering and was judged by all to be delicious.

Sam Miller won first place in the adult division of the costume contest dressed as a sailor.  In the JH/HS division, Samantha Kibbe took the prize.  In the grade school division, Phoebe Lyne and Melissa Campbell placed 1st and 2nd respectively.  Mason Wallace placed first in the pre-school division with the Biggs twins taking 2nd.

A good time was had by all and several commented that this is an event to look forward to every year.  It may not be a huge to-do, but it is loads of fun.

Blog Memories...from Jerry Saunders

Reading the Barnard Banter that you have done so well, brings back lots of memories.  Just about brought tears to my 76 year old eyes, watching the pictures of the water tower coming down.  I remember when they first started it with a wooden scaffolding that blew down.

After it was finished my dad, Otto Saunders, took care of the city.  He used to have to climb up there to replace the light on top.  As I got older, he talked me into going up.  The first time I made it to the door that goes outside, I got scared and came back down.  He finally talked me later on to go on up.  What a beautiful sight to look out over the countryside, but I got too scared to come back down.  After a lot of coaxing from Dad, I finally made it.  From then on when the light burnt out, I replaced it till I got out of Barnard High.

I sure have enjoyed your blog.
