intersects new Highway 289 on

60 ft. and will accommodate the
banking customers at Prosper
State Bank as they come off the
Craig Rd, enter a horse-shoe cir-
cle to the drive-in window and
exit once again onto Craig Rd. A

“History offers few eras richer in
drama than the last years of Im-
perial Russia”, reads the book
jacket of this fascinating true
story by Robert K. Massie. “Csar
Nicholas II, ruler of one sixth of
the earth and more than 120 mil-
lion people presided over a glit-
tering world of huge palaces, lav-
ish halls, and incomparable lux-
ury”. He was insulated from and
lost contact with the common
people. Ones imagination can not
hel ppicturing how the world
might be so very different today
had this royal family realized the
true conditions in the country
an dif they had had different per-
sonalities.
Alexandra was Queen Victor-
ia’s favorite granddaughter.
Deeply involved in the happen-
ings was the bizarre Siberian,
Rasputin. By denying every cry
for responsible government,
Nicholas made the Revolution
and the eventual triumph of Len-
in inevitable. This is a moving
tragedy told with scrupulous ac-
curacy and stunning narrative
power.
Mrs. Davis Thompson who will
bring this story to life in her at-
tention gripping manner grew up
in Collin County. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Char-
lie M. Pearson of Plano. Her
brother Charles B. Pearson lives

sons have two daughters, Beth a

views for ten clubs. There are

two in Plano, one in Richardson,
