Yesterday I learned that on Saturday, our friend Elmer Kelton, had passed away. I am deeply saddened by this news. Mr. Kelton was a regular at The Christmas Store. He and his kind wife, would come to the store a few times a year to sign books and chat with readers from all walks of life. This all happened when Mr. Ron Anderson had his bookstore in The Christmas Store.
There was never a nicer or more interesting man. He was old school. Polite and funny and a really interesting man to talk with about Texas and the way things used to be. More and more of Mr. Kelton's generation are passing from this world to be with their Maker. It's a fact of life. I encourage you to take the time to visit with an older person this week. They have so much wisdom to offer us. My sincere condolences to Mrs. Kelton and the family. He will be sorely missed.
