           the 1969 Lockney Citizen of the Year, and has run one of
           the longest standing businesses in Lockney.”

           Lucy Dean Record is very humble about all this
           recognition. But she knows she is blessed. “I’m on
           Facebook, YouTube, and www.” She also attests, “God                   We are lucky to live in
           is the center of my life. I’ve tried to live my life in such a       Lockney, Texas,
           way as to earn respect.”                                         and we are honored to help sponsor

           About her hometown, she says, “I love Lockney! It’s        Lucy Dean Record and Virginia Taylor.
           friendly. Everyone helps their neighbor when they need
           help.” Her secret to a long life, she says, is staying busy.
           “I don’t allow myself the privilege of being sick or tired.”
           It’s obvious that music has kept her young-feeling,           Jim, Denise and Patrick Doucette
           young-thinking and young-acting. She goes dancing with
           her friend Claude Brown two to three times a week. (He
           is 97, and his story will be featured in our Fall Veteran’s
           edition.) Lucy Dean Record
