Editor’s note: This edition of Brazos Tales first appeared in the Jan. 27, 2014, edition of The Facts. What was it like in Brazoria County during World War II? To Billy McCoy, most of the memories were good ones, but considerably different from the experiences of today’s teenagers. kAmx? 2? @C2= 9:DE@CJ :?E6CG:6H 4@?5F4E65 3J r@==66? z6?J@? 7@C E96 qC2K@C:2 r@F?EJ w:DE@C:42= |FD6F>[ 96 C6>6>36C65 >2?J C6=2E:G6 ?6H4@>6CD E@ E96 2C62 H6C6 9@FD65 :?

Editor’s note: This edition of Brazos Tales first appeared in the Jan. 20, 2014, edition of The Facts. ‘Sightings” of UFOs were fairly common back in 1965, but one after another, government-operated investigations debunked most of them. kAm~?6 E92E @77:4:2=D H6C6 ?6G6C 23=6 E@ AC@G6 32=@?6J H2D C6A@CE65 3J EH@ qC2K@C:2 r@F?EJ 56AFEJ D96C:77D[ q:==J |4r@J 2?5 q@3 v@@56]k^AmkAm%H6?EJ J62CD =2E6C[ :? 2? :?E6CG:6H 4@?5F4E65 3J r@==66? z6?J@?[ |4r@J AC@G:565 2? @C2= 9:DE@CJ E92E :D @?
