Clayton, this is an awesome pic.   It brought tears to my eyes, really captures 
Gloria's beauty & sense of humor.    Such good times.    The pic of Rosalee and 
Delphine reminded me of the Hunters Stews and the German community singing 
rousing songs with such heart & spirit.    It was indeed great fun!    One 
night in particular Rosalee had such a good time Doc was concerned she was 
going to fall into the stew; fortunately, she was detoured by that loving 
group.    They took care of each other.   I always left there feeling so loved 
as I've always loved all of you, my hearts!

Thine by yea or nay,
Joy

Clayton, thanks so much for the wonderful photo.  It really captures Gloria’s 
spirit of joy and fun.  Like you, I am hoping for better news down the road.

Thank you for the alert, Doc, and I’ve enjoyed reading all the notes about 
Gloria and reminiscing about all the wonderful moments with her.  (I wish I had 
a photo of you and her two-stepping, Mark!  My memory from that night is of a 
whirling polka on the stage with Rosalee…).

I loved walking into the office to say hi to her during my summers (she’d 
always holler from her desk upstairs if she was busy), or seeing her under the 
tent in later summers when I came out to see the plays.  I was delighted to 
bump into her twice in the spring of last year and each time she seemed spry 
and joyful and friendly as always (the first time was at a polka concert on a 
Friday night at the Rifle Hall, the second was when she was volunteering at the 
annual Winedale quilt show in the classroom one weekend).  Something ageless 
and strong about her always.  And gentle.  As a kid from Austin who never spent 
summers on a farm or ranch, I think she was the first “country person” I really 
got to know over time.

I sent off a card yesterday with a photo of Indian paintbrushes outside the 
Barn and hope to hear good news about her recovery as the fall goes on.

My memory of my first day at Winedale is that Gloria was the first person I 
met, as I didn’t know where the Barn was and parked at the office to orient 
myself.  In this vision from 40-something years ago, she cheerfully says hello 
and then points the way to me, and I begin walking down the road towards the 
row of tall loblolly pines.

Later that evening, at our welcome reception, I took the slide photo below, 
which includes some other folks from the Winedale community we knew and loved – 
one of my favorites from that glorious summer.

Love to all,

cs

Subject: Gloria

I learned yesterday that Gloria Hickey, manager for the first 30 years of the 
Winedale Historical Center, suffered a heart attack two weeks ago and is now 
slowly recovering with the help of daughter La Donna and rehab folks. A  friend 
told me that she is also showing signs of demential.  I thought it would be 
great where she to hear “get well” greetings from the ancients.  There only 
contact I have is P.O. Box 71 Round Top Tx 78954.

Doc
