VFW honors women in the military
VFW honors women in the military
Monday, Oct. 18 was Recognition of Women in Military Service day. Women were limited to working as cooks, seamstresses, and nurses in the U.S. military during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As of the twentieth Century, there are no more restrictions on what positions women can or cannot hold. 10/31/2021 05:00 AM
The Journey Continues
The Journey Continues: In Case of Emergency...
My journey this week concerns how we deal with emergencies. The word itself causes us discomfort and points to an immediate need of help. The Red Cross has a list for types of emergencies and tips for preparedness steps you can take on their website. In San Marcos, we have faced true emergencies due to flash floods, winter storms, the Coronavirus and highway safety. As in Aesop’s story of the Ant and the Grasshopper, having been forewarned is forearmed. Some folks work on disaster preparedness prior to the next such crisis, and others just “forget about it.” They end up in the same predicament again. Then they call 9-1-1. That three-digit telephone number is used universally in the United States as the reporting method for crimes, accidents and medical emergencies. We can be grateful for this fast and easy access to help when we are in crisis. Be aware that both Hays County and the city of San Marcos have Emergency Management offices. The Hays Informed blog provides a one-stop, coordinated information page designed for real-time emergencies. 10/31/2021 05:00 AM

Thomas Ross Bagley
Thomas Ross Bagley
Devoted and beloved father and grandfather Thomas “Tommy” Ross Bagley, a proud fifth-generation native Texan, 74, joined our Heavenly Father on Monday, October 25, 2021, with his children by his side. The youngest child of Thomas Daniel Bagley and Carlene Virginia Hartung Bagley of Martindale, Texas, Tommy was born on March 15, 1947, into the most loving and generous family. He inherited his father’s athleticism and attended San Marcos High School, where he proudly played on the 1965 Texas state high school basketball championship team as a varsity player. After graduating high school in 1966, he went on to attend The University of Texas and then Southwest Texas State University, where he majored in mathematics and graduated in 1970. Carrying on his family’s decades-long business experience, inspired by the family business of W.W. Bagley & Sons (which was founded during the Great Depression), Tommy had an enthusiastic entrepreneurial spirit, leading him to open his own insurance agency, Thomas Bagley & Associates. Later in his career, he enjoyed diving into different industries with a common thread of applying his business insight, salesmanship, and incredible gift for fostering relationships with people. Tommy loved all people, making friends with everyone he encountered everywhere he went and brightening every room he entered with his infectious laugh. With his deep and booming voice, he spoke deliberately and always told the truth. His congenial spirit, deep Christian faith, and zest for life touched all who knew him. One of his greatest qualities was his ability to listen intently to everyone with whom he spoke. He was a master storyteller who would spend hours talking with family and friends, always making them feel like they were the most important person in the room. 10/31/2021 05:00 AM
