Nichols blog
Paul Nichols posted his reminiscences of growing up at 1122 Seventh St. during the 1950-60s. Then he collected his blogs into Just Seven Blocks from the Mexican Border, which is available from amazon.com. You'll laugh at his stories, nod your head in recognition of the people he writes about, and learn what it means to be a DHS Bulldog.

Keeter Stuart
Keeter is Stan Jones' talented nephew and he's put out a CD of his own songs as will as one covering his uncle's songs. My recommendation: Get both. Keeter's Marshall Tuckerish-version of "Ghost Riders" on his CD titled "Just" really rocks!
