My wife was born and raised in Sweetwater. Both of us a fraction Native Amer-ican but do not claim so on the forms with boxes to check.

I learned that the best response when questioned with, "are you from Texas?" was to reply, "No, but I got here as quick as I could." Moving away eventually, we were blessed to leave with many fond memories, the knowhow to slow cook brisket to perfection, and to make kickazz chili.
