Rusk, TX.- The
spirit of giving is high on the agenda for
the Thompson-Teague-Sneed Foundation.
November and December were busy months for
Johnny Thompson of Dallas, Joe Teague of
Jacksonville and Alvin Sneed of Grand
Prairie. On a Saturday in the month of
November the three brought a large variety
of men women and children clothing to Rusk,
set up at the Informer office on the loop
and gave them away to everyone who could
make use of them. Christmas was special for
nineteen children in five families in the
Rusk area. The foundation members shopped
for clothing, toys and food items for

dinner. The items were packaged separately
for each family and delivered the week of
Christmas. “We just want to show that
we care. Giving of what we have is the best
way to do that”, Said Johnny Thompson. This
was the second Christmas the foundation gave
a hand to local citizens in helping to make
their holidays brighter. Johnny
(Billy), Alvin and Joe are all native
Ruskites, born, raised and educated here in
Rusk. Their close friendship with each other
goes back to kindergarten days. Even though
they all moved away, Rusk and the people
here remain special in their hearts.
