Silsbee from Crockett in 1942
and went to work with the
Santa Fe. He is the seventh of
Seven children of Edgar and
Rildia Thompson.
After attending Mary Allen
Junior College in Crockett in
1939 for a year, Thompson was
forced by hard times to leave
the halls of higher learning and
earn a living for himself and
his new bride. He worked for
a while as an embalmer and
finally joined the railroad.
In 1950, he took an extension
course in psychology from
Prairie View A&M which re-
kindled the desire to obtain his
degree. After long planning and
much encouragement from his
wife, Thompson resigned his
job with the Santa Fe and en-
tered Texas Southern in Sep-
tember, 1959.
In his words, “I appreciate
my wife’s thoughtfulness and

in Waldo Mathews High School.
Thompson, who did his prac-
tice teaching in Houston, has
applied for a teaching position
with the Silsbee schools. He
said that he wants to work here
in his hometown, because he
thinks he can do the most good
for his community, here.
He js indeed a remarkable
man, finishing his degree in
spite of many hardships, but
the most remarkable thing is
the philosophy he has adopted
for the basis of his life. Here
it is in his own words—
“In this walk of life, it is
easy to be a starter, but are
you a sticker, too?
‘‘It is sometimes fun to be-
gin a thing, but it is hard to
see it through.
“It Is the sticker who wins
in the battle of life, while the
quitter is laid on the shelf.
“Remember my friend you
are never defeated,
"By the help of God, until
you lose faith in yourself.—
this is my philosophy.”
This thought was made up
in 1946 while his wife was in
college finishing her degree.

research has been conducted on

Thanks, Friends
Once more I want to express my deep appreciation to the loyal friends
who supported me as County Commissioner through the years. Although I
was not successful in the run-off primary last Saturday, I have no regrets,
and there is no ill-will in my heart about the outcome.
The 32 years that I have been privileged to serve you as your commis-
sioner have been devoted to doing the best job I know how for the people
of this precinct and Hardin County. Although at the end of my present
term I will no longer be one of your officials, I will always be ready to
serve the best interests of the people here.
I /
My congratulations and best wishes go to Mr. Virgil Caraway, and I
hope he will have the full cooperation of the people he will serve.
