Christmas Gatherings Highlight Rockdale Family Week
Local families mark the Christmas season with gatherings across Rockdale. Gene Martindale hosts most of his children for dinner with extended kin from Sweetwater, Colorado City, Stamford, Berryhill, Pecos, Graham, Morton, Albany, Lueders, Fort Worth, Odessa, and beyond. The Gillespie and Newcomb clans also hosted and attended dinners, flights, and visits, culminating in a Christmas day meal at the Berryhill schoolhouse for 48 relatives with music from local musicians.
