Ruth (TX) Cretsinger:  

Life June~2006... I was born in King City, California in 1937 and lived there until 1944. I attended kindergarten and 1st grade in King City. I moved with my family to Vega, Texas in June of 1944.

My memories of King City are pleasant ones even though it was during World War II. It has been so long since I lived there I can't remember "people" with the exception of a couple of neighborhood children, (Jim and Nellie Frazier). In Texas I attended Vega High School until I graduated in 1955. I have been married to Royce Cretsinger (who I met in school) for 56 years. Except for four years when Royce worked for the city of Amarillo as a city police officer we have lived in Wildorado, Texas which is located 20 miles west of Amarillo, Texas... We plan to retire here. We are still farming and raising cattle. I was a stay at home mom and spent the early years raising our two boys and helping Royce with the farming. Since 1980 I have helped with the farming much more than I ever thought I would or wanted to. I was active in PTA while the boys were still in school. I have been a member of the Wildorado Home Demonstration club since 1974 and have held every office on the local and county level since I joined. I continue...Expand for more
