Eyes on the Pies
THE DAY after read-
ing Charles Lohrmann's
story about the "Magic of
Meringue" [Top Tables,
March] at the Koffee Kup
in Hico, I kidnapped my
husband for lunch and we
drove there. It was every-
thing we expected, and
more. We split a lunch and
bought six different flavors
of pie to share, both at the
restaurant and at home. Even if we did have
to battle a rainstorm, it was well worth the trip.
We will return to see more of the town.

If the Muleshoe Fits
I WAS excited to read Gerald McLeod's article
on Muleshoe [March]. My mother was born inF
a place called West Camp, between Muleshoe
and Farwell. She remembers a community simi-
lar to Walnut Grove in the "Little House" series
with a church and a school. My husband grew
up in Muleshoe-he wrote
his first letter to me at the
Dinner Bell restaurant after
we met at my aunt's house.
Thank you for an excellent
magazine.

I WAS looking forward to
reading the Muleshoe article,
as we stay there several times
a year, but the photogra-
pher's "unusual technique"
of multiple photographs does
not multiply their impact. I thought my glasses
had broken.

ED. NOTE: Keep those glasses, Jim! We found
Artie Limmer's technique interesting-a fresh
and whimsical way to illustrate the story. With
hundreds of Texas towns to cover, we like to
throw in some visual variety now and then.is.

ALAMO Heights High School [in San Antonio]
has a bronze mule in full action sculpted by
alumnus and local artist George Schroeder.
It is a magnificent piece and a far greater
tribute to the esteemed beast than the one
in Muleshoe.

ED. NOTE: 'Ears to you, Jack, for telling us
about another mule tribute. Readers, you can
find a photo of Alamo Heights High School's
mule sculpture at www.ahisd.net (it's part of
the slide show on the home page). Go Mules!

IMAGES Gallery was not included in the story
on Denison's art scene [by Randy Mallory;
March issue]. We have a beautiful gallery in a
beautifully restored, late-1800s building at 408
W. Main-right in the middle of Denison's Art
Block. We showcase a group of 22 talented art-
ists who have a variety of styles and mediums.
As stated in the article, the Denison Spring Art
Tour is a fun event with lots of artists doing
demonstrations of their work.
