S’MORE IN PROGRESS in his right hand, Conner Baskerville roasts a marshmallow to add to his graham cracker and chocolate. The occasion was a cookout at Doans, Texas on Saturday, May 1, the evening before the 143rd Doan’s May Picnic. In the background is Jeff Bearden’s authentic chuck wagon and a U. S. Flag with 36 stars, true to the era of the trail drives that crossed at nearby Doan’s Crossing. Historic Doans is 16 miles north of Vernon. | HANABA MUNN WELCH
