Place of Memories

East Texas is beautiful. 
The first time I came to Longview was with 
my college roommate, Liz.  
The trees are tall. 
The grass is green. 
The people are friendly. 
It was the same then as it is now. 

Why does a place bring back such memories? Memories you have with you always, but they rise to the top when you get closer to the place. The feelings are stronger and deeper.  So many wonderful memories of my college youth. Carefree. Long Fellows.
 Shreveport. The Rusty Nail. The Ridge. 

The last time I was in Longview was 16 years ago for her funeral.
