Pat Franks Crawford to Speak at
August TAGHS Meeting
If Timpson ISD had a Hall of Fame,
Pat Franks Crawford would be in it. Her
name, like those of Herbert Eakin, Preston
Billingsley, and Tommy Mack Hooper, is
forever linked to Timpson schools. When
she retired from teaching at the end of the
2014-2015 school year, Mrs. Crawford
left a remarkable legacy of almost half
a century of service to Timpson High
School.
Herself a THS graduate, Mrs. Craw-
ford is a member of the 1963 Senior Class.
She attended Stephen F. Austin State Uni-
versity and, upon graduation with a degree
in English, joined the faculty of Timpson
High School in 1968. Over the past 47
years, Mrs. Crawford has touched the
lives of thousands of Timpson students,
many of whom were the children, or even
grandchildren, of her former students. Her
Senior English class was a rite of passage
for Timpson High School students.
The Timpson Area Genealogical and
Heritage Society invites everyone to hear
Mrs. Crawford recall her distinguished
career at their monthly meeting at 2
PM on Wednesday, August 19, in the
Timpson Public Library, on the corner of
Austin and Bremond Streets in downtown
Timpson.
