Tribute To Bob Vaughn

I met Bob Vaughn in 1971 when I came to work for The Deer Park School District.

Bob was a Journalism Teacher at DPHS and loved by his students. Watching Bob teach, encourage, demonstrate, discipline and love his students was a source of great pleasure to me and the entire staff. I learned to appreciate Bob Vaughn for his humor, courage, talent, Christian values and his dedication to his family. He never hesitated to let me know how he felt and he always gave me a  chance to engage him in serious discussions.

Bob was an inspiration to many students and faculty members especially to me personally. I loved his work, his talent and his contribution to my life. I will always be thankful that I worked with, learned from and admired Bob Vaughn.

Letter To The Editor – School Levy Importance

October 2, 2025

As a city council member in the late 70’s and early 80’s and a city employee for 24 years I have heard a lot of misinformation disseminated through “coffee shop” talk and later social media. It has always concerned me to hear incorrect information passed along by people who don’t bother to ask for the facts, when they are readily available.

Since the late 70’s when the city disbanded it’s own department and contracted with
the county, well meaning people have thought that it “seems” like we could fund our
own department for what we are paying the county.

Horrific behavior from a School Board Member

March 14, 2025

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the ongoing unprofessional and harmful behavior of Deer Park School Board Director Ashby. His public accusations against me, falsely labeling me as unethical, amount to defamation and slander, unfairly damaging my reputation. It is unacceptable for a sitting board member to engage in such reckless and baseless personal attacks.

Eyes Wide Shut – Letter To Editor

I have a message for the great citizens of Deer Park and anyone reading this fine newspaper. I’ll preface the message by quoting a line from a famous British rock band “IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?” Interpretation: What on God’s blue earth is happening to our country? Why does it seem we are standing here stone-faced watching this disaster unfold like some slow motion train wreck? Do we really believe we’re on the right track to continued peace, prosperity, freedom and independence as given to us by our founding fathers through our sacred Constitution and its inalienable Bill of Rights?
