PERSONAL HISTORY:
The following text accompanies a photo of James "Jim" Kent (1889-1975) standing beside his 1948 Buick Roadmaster automobile:
"The car in the picture with my Uncle Jim is a 1948 Buick Roadmaster. Uncle Jim bought this car new. Sometime in the late 50's early 60's this car was retired. While visiting one time I replaced the fuel pump on this car and got it running. I went racing across the cow pasture at about 50 miles per hour and about wrecked. Uncle Jim did not let me drive it after that. When Uncle Jim sold the farm and moved to the city the old Buick was hauled across the road and placed high on a hill above my cousins farm house. It sat there for many years. Lisa and I made a trip to the area in the early 80's before we were married. I was driving an Oldsmobile convertible at the time and Lisa and I were dressed in comfortable (read skimpy) summer attire. I stopped and looked for the Buick but I did not find it. I stopped at my cousins farm house and a couple of older ladies in beehive hairdos and long dresses answered the door. I asked about the Buick and was told someone bought it and hauled it off the hill. Talked a bit further and found that these ladies were my cousins." Don Coatney 8/2006

PERSONAL HISTORY:
The following text accompanies a photo of Ethel Williams Kent (1899-1974) leaning on a fence in front of a school bus:
"The school bus in the picture was parked in that same location for years. Uncle Jim [James "Jim" Kent (1889-1975)] had not used it as a school bus for a long time. I used to play in it when I was very young. Sometime in the 1940's Uncle Jim converted this school bus to a camper. Today the term is "RV". He removed the seats and installed a bed, kitchen area, and a couple of comfortable chairs. He then went on an extended trip out west. This bus had a top speed of somewhere around 45 MPH. As Uncle Jim was a farmer the repairs he made to this bus most always included the use of bailing wire. The trip was a success. Uncle Jim collected decorative plates with the names of all the States he visited. When I would visit him and ask about the plates he would always tell me stories about the trip in the bus. I think I still have a few of these plates but they are hiding somewhere. Texas was his favorite state. He always carried his shot gun with him on these trips. He was an expert trap and skeet shooter and would stop along the way and enter shooting contests winning many of them. I still have his well worn shotgun and my guess is there had been more than a semi load of shells fired through this gun." Don Coatney, 9/2006
