  • October, 1995 Dear Club Members, Welcome to Our Fourth and Final
    October, 1995 Dear Club Members, Welcome to our fourth and final newsletter for this year. This is a special issue because of the generosity of club member and military artist, Donald D. Moore. He is the talented individual who designed the Audie silhouettes for our letterhead and club envelopes. Don also created and supplied at his expense, for the club and its members, a color laser print of Audie, which is suitable for framing. He also graciously donated the 9 x 12” brown envelopes to avoid having the prints folded. For those members desiring other Audie Murphy prints and lithographs by Don, he may be contacted at 2501 South W. S. Young Drive - Suite 306, Killeen, Texas 76542 or by phone at (817) 554-8008. We are most indebted to Don for his contributions and for his conscientious efforts for the continued success of the club. (Submitted by Stan Smith) ********************************************************************* The Hunt County Commissioners Court agreed to name a stretch of a local highway in honor of Audie Murphy. The Commissioners unanimously passed a resolution in favor of designating that portion of Highway 69 from the north Greenville city limits to the Hunt/Fannin County Line as the Audie Murphy Memorial Highway. Plaques will be created for placement at each end of the proposed highway. This tribute to Hunt County’s most famous citizen will coincide with the county’s 150th anniversary celebration next year.

  • The Charming World of Tall Tales
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by PublicacionesDidácticas (E-Journal) The charming world of tall tales Autor: Lorenzo Cerviño, Susana María (licenciada en Filología inglesa, Profesora de inglés en educación secundaria). Público: Profesores de 2º de ESO (Sección bilingüe). Materia: Inglés Avanzado. Idioma: Inglés. Title: The charming world of tall tales. Abstract The study of American tall tales of the Wild West gives a thorough understanding of the social and psychological structure of a whole nation. These legends, where exaggeration and humour are central to the story, help forge the character of a nation and explain the origin of landmarks in American history. Human beings have always felt the need to make sense of the world around them and tall tales have helped to entertain those men and women who tried to build a better future crossing a hostile land in search of the American dream. Keywords: Tall tales, hyperbole, American frontier, Wild West, Paul Bunyan, John Henry, Calamity Jane, Pecos Bill Título: Leyendas americanas. Resumen El estudio de las leyendas americanas del lejano oeste promueve una comprensión clara y profunda de la estructura psicológica y social de toda una nación. Estas narraciones de carácter fantástico, en las que la exageración y el humor constituyen el eje central de la historia, permiten forjar el carácter de un pueblo y explicar el origen de lugares emblemáticos de la geografía americana. El ser humano ha tenido siempre la necesidad de dar sentido al mundo que le rodeaba. Las leyendas americanas han servido de entretenimiento a hombres y mujeres que intentaron labrarse un futuro en busca del sueño americano.
