A letter to Salado

Friends,


Friends, 

Recently, this letter came through email:

Mr. Blancett,

Warren and I are from Katy, Tx.
We are just visiting Georgetown/Round Rock...we, indeed, are looking at Salado,
Wahlburg and Georgetown as potential 'home' sites.
We, simply, had not visited Salado after the Christmas Tree Farm closed down.

Until it did, we would bring our grandson (he is now 10) to Saldado to cut down 
three or four trees/have a cup of hot chocolate.
The last time we did this, we decided to go into Salado, have lunch, walk around.
We fell in love with Salado then!

We were driving to look to see what we could find (on our own) and decided to
visit Salado.
Our grandson is a history student...we have taken him to Gettysburg,
Washington, D.C. 
He knows more history than most high school age students/some college
students and for 'fun', he met Tom Blakey, a 91 year old WWII veteran at
the WWII Museum in New Orleans.
"Thank You for your service, Sir!" with a handshake ---makes a grandparent
proud to know that he loves history.
We would be BLESSED to be a member of the Salado Community!

Sincerely,
Jackie and Warren Jeter


When downtown, visitors from across the nation say one thing:  "We love Salado."

"It is hard to be humble when one lives in Salado, but we try.  May we never lose that Salado Spirit that makes us the best Village in Texas.  And may we always be thankful for folks like Jackie and Warren who take the time to write.
