Would like to add to my father Rex Kemp this story -
Benjamin Rex Kemp was born Sept. 24, 1911 in McCaulley, Texas and my father. I remember him telling about his adventurers of his youth.
The fun that he had hunting in the sand and closely growing brush near his home with brothers and friends. However, he found one of his greatest adventurers was hitch-hiking alone to visit relatives in Central Texas. After graduating from the rural high school in McCaulley, the decision was made for him to live with his single sister who had just been hired as the Home Demonstration Agent in Mason County. Rex would earn his diploma from an accredited high school while chaperoning Faye after his studies on visits to homes in the woody, countryside. He made new friends and found many new adventurers, as he fished in the Llano, San Saba and creeks branching out from these rivers along with hunting for deer and turkeys. The decision to live with Faye in Mason was on that was to his liking, for he did earn his diploma, while having wonderful adventurers. Then he went to Lubbock in the summer to attend Texas Tech where his sister Ruth attended collge, and his Aunt Sarah and Uncle Jim Middleton resided near the campus. Rex like to tell the story about the young men who gave him a kicking cow to milk at the Tech Dairy Barn thinking that this would be quite a joke on a new freshmen; however, to his delight he was able to milk the cow without little difficulty which was quite a disappointment to these upper classmen. When the summer was over, he had to return home because of the depression and was unable to continue his education. However, both of his daughters graduated from Texas Tech University with home economics education degrees and two of his grand-daughters graduated from Texas Tech with accounting degrees. His great grandson J. T. Cotton graduated from Texas Tech in 2008 in computer science , and his grand daughter Beverly Cotton will graduate with her PhD in Higher Education Administration and her son Will will graduate with a B.A. in architecture in December 2010.
