THURSDAY. MAY 18,1995
The birth of Haleigh Rae Lobstein on
May 10 created a number of changes.
And I don’t necessarily mean diapers.
First of all, it made my eldest grandson,
Charles "Shorty" Lobstein, a father.
It also made my eldest daughter, Kay,
a grandmother. Of course, it gave the
title "Grandpa" to my son-in-law, Jake
Lobstein.
Furthermore, it bestowed upon me the
tag, "Great-Grandfather." (This doesn’t
overlook my wife, Marcia. She is now a
great-grandmother.
It was Grandma Kay who started all
these changes. She is the one who first
gave me the title, "Father." Then it was
"With Married Daughter," complete with
a son-in-law. Then "Grandfather," when
Short was bom.
The mother, Shala, and her daughter
are both doing great at last reports.
Where did all this happen? At
Brownwood Memorial Hospital in
Central Texas.
At 68, I have nothing but happiness
concerning my latest title. It's just hard
for me to accept the fact that I have a
daughter 45, a grandson 21 and a great-
granddaughter less than a month old.
Where has time gone?
Grandson Shorty recently finished a
fire school course at Texas A&M
University. He has a job as a fireman at
Coleman, about 30 miles west of
Brownwood.
I hope to see the Lobsteins this
summer. But I still haven't seen all of my
grandchildren. Grandson Stephen
Moseley, who's about six months old
now, lives with his parents and older
brother, Ty, in Columbus, Ohio, where
my son, David is studying for his
doctorate in Slavic Languages at Ohio
State University. Planes still fly in that
direction and maybe I’ll have a chance to
catch 6ne for the OSU vicinity soon.
There are 12 other grandchildren
whom 1 don’t get to see as often as I
would like. In fact, five of my six children
are scattered, so to speak, to the winds.
In a recent Generation Y section of the
Amarillo Globe-News was a story by
April Fisher about U.S. Rep. Mac
Thornberry. She explained their
encounter when an interview was set up
between them.
Most of her story concerned the
congressman's political stand, much like
the story I had written after Thornberry
had made an appearance in April in
Swisher Memorial Building.
But April's last two paragraphs were
totally unexpected. They read:
"All yawns aside, Thornberry was a
nice guy and an impressive speaker.
But, like all politicians, he has mastered
the art of taking endlessly without
actually saying anything. Using words
that I'm sure came straight from the SAT
vocabulary list and plenty of head-
nodding are political tactics even
Thornberry couldn’t avoid. .
"Despite these obvious political traits,
though, I do believe Thornberry is really
working for his constituents."
The columnists little April Fisher, is a
senior at Borgcr High School.
Out of the mouths of babes!
It is my belief that what American
voters want, based on the consensus that
most desired change, was politicians
that don’t sound like politicians. That
means talking from pure conviction on
any subject, and not giving a Republican
or Democrat party line.
Party lines have begun to sound
phoney, Mac. Please try another
approach, one with your pure
convictions.
•••
Unjoyfully, the Texas tornado season
is upon us. Already a trail of death and
destruction has been blazed into the
Panhandle from Clovis, N.M., to
Hereford, north of Canyon and into parts
of the Amarillo area. Thankfully it hasn't
touched Swisher County. I pray that it
doesn't.
Twisters have previously taken a toll
in the Tulia area in such places as
Amarillo, Plainview, Hale Center,
Clarendon and nearby Howardwick.
A toll has been taken by at least two
newspapers during such havocs. An
editor of the Plainview Daily Herald
was killed while involved in a tornado.
When a part of the Lubbock Avalanche -
Journal was demolished by a circulati ng
wind that struck in the downtown section,
its papers had to be printed 120 miles
north at the Amarillo Globe-News until
the A-J presses were again operable.
As a newsman, I am fortunate. I've
only "covered" three in my lifetime. One
was a real killer, striking Vernon, Wichita
Falls and Lawton, Okla., one Tuesday
afternoon in April 1979 in which a total
of 57 people were killed.
The strangest tornado circumstance I
ever covered was the one that occurred
at Silverton on May 15, 1957, which
killed 21 people. I did it on its 21st
anniversary in 1978 for the Amarillo
Daily News. I didn't even have to travel
to the scene. After all, Silverton had long
since rebuilt its material damages.
I interviewed a survivor of the
Silverton tornado who had long since
purchased a home in the southern section
of Amarillo. He described his
circumstances, that he was a 21-year-
old man on active duty in the U.S. Navy,
married and the father of a baby boy. On
leave, he planned to drive his family to
Turkey from Amarillo and spend time
with his parents, but first sper>d the night
