I wanted to touch on a subject that has been pulling at my heartstrings ever since it was announced that schools were being closed, springs sports were postponed, and most notably, the day the Houston Stock Show was cancelled.
I have been doing what I do here in Bowie County for a long time. Long enough in fact that the senior class of 2020 was in 1st grade when I came back to the Tribune.
Those little girls and boys that I took pictures of on the playgrounds of their elementary schools are now young adults, perched on the cusp of adulthood. Many will go off to college in the fall, entering a brave new world filled with challenges that they have never faced before. Others will enter the workforce. They will be out there building fences, welding pipes, working retail, or working in restaurants.
