Horace A.W. Tabor, "Silver King" and Baby Doe Tabor - Click To Read Article
Horace Tabor is a true "rags-to-riches-to-rags" story of Colorado's Silver King of the late 1800s. Though it shows the pioneer spirit that made this country great, it also gives us lessons in persistence, dedication, devotion and determination to transcend all obstacles to reach a specific goal in life -- that ever-elusive "pot of gold (in this case 'silver') at the end of the rainbow. Because in March we celebrate St. Patrick's day, and the fact that Horace's wife, Baby Doe Tabor, is of Irish heritage, makes this a most fitting article for Mazon's March 2011 newsletter, Building Bridges. Please enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed researching it.

Sam and Mary Lauderdale, Mary of Puddin Hill - Click To Read Article
I was inspired to write about Mary of Puddin Hill's company in Greenville, Texas for Mazon Associates, Inc. December 2011 newsletter, Building Bridges as our company purchased client Christmas gifts from Mary of Puddin Hill for the second consecutive year. Surprisingly, it just so happened that Mary Lauderdale's 86th birthday would have been on December 1st, the original date scheduled for publication; thus, a quick edit reflected this change. Most of this article was written from internet research; part from first-hand knowledge from their daughter, Pud Kearns; and from other research. I hope you will also be inspired by reading about this company.
