Sandy McLeod - gospel Singer
November23,1997- 11 a.m.
Sandy has been singing since he was six years old and has
been involved in music ranging from ‘50s rock and roll,
barbershop, gospel and classical. Since moving to Granbury
in 1987, he has been involved with a gospel quartet called
“Granbury Gospel.” Unfortunately, one of the members
moved out of the area recently and the group is searching for
a replacement singer. However, Sandy has continued to sing
at various churches in the area and is working on finishing his
second gospel tape. He is hoping to have it completed before-
the end of the year and it will include some songs by the
quartet. Music has been an important part of Sandy’s life for
51 years and seeing people receive enjoyment from the music
is most important to him.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION OF SOUTHWESTERN
BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY FOR DESIGNATION AS
AN ELIGIBLE TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIER
UNDER 47 U.S.C. §214(e)
Southwestern Bell Telephone Company has filed an application
with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“PUC”) for the purpose
of being designated an eligible telecommunications carrier (“ETC”)
in accordance with 47 U.S.C. §214(e) by December 31, 1997.
Southwestern Bell’s application is currently being considered
in Docket No. 18100.
Southwestern Bell is required to obtain ETC status in order
to receive Federal Universal Service Funds (“FUSFs”) beginning
January 1, 1998. 47 U.S.C. §214(e) requires the PUC, either upon
its own motion or upon request, to designate common carriers as
ETCs for service areas. Southwestern Bell seeks ETC status for
its entire service area. Southwestern Bell has requested a
minimum waiver for one year of the requirement to deploy toll control.
Persons who wish to comment or intervene in this application
should notify the Public Utility Commission of Texas by
November 20, 1997. Requests for further information should be
mailed to the Public Utility Commission of Texas, P.O. Box 13326,
Austin, Texas 78711-3326, or you may call the Public Utility
Commission’s Office of Customer Protection at (512) 936-7120
or (888) 782-8477. Hearing- and speech-impaired individuals
with text telephones (TTY) may contact the commission at
(512) 936-7136, or use Relay Texas (800) 735-2989 to reach the
commission’s toll free number (888) 782-8477.

I have lived the good life, I
have fought the good fight. I
never thought this would be how
I would go to be with my maker.
The love for all creatures have
always been a way of life for me.
That moment, Roosevelts words
haunted me. You have nothing
to fear but fear itself. Where was
my big stick? I froze. Even Daniel
in the Lion's Den had a sling
shot. He also had faith. "Lord,
give me all the faith you can
spare, right now and help me to
do the right thing."
The animal weighed from 75
to 80 pounds - jaws that could
trap a bear. The dog was walk-
ing toward me, the low growl
with hairs bristled. It was close
enough for me to reach out and
Ma Bell him. "Hear" was all I
could say. He started circling
me. I turned with him. We had
almost completed the circle
when a man's voice from the
yard yelled, "Come here!' I
thought, If he doesn't, I will. The
hairs on my arms were standing
straight up. They would have
been on my head, except an old
Dallas Cowboy ball cap was hold-
ing them down, all three of them.
The rest of a weak walk home,
was very prayerful.
